Did you ever live in Parson Cross? (Part 2)

[KateT 10]

 

Meeting you again was the highlight Kath

 

I should think so!!! Can't believe thirty odd years passed so quickly...and to meet up twice within a couple of months. It was great to meet up again at C & N.

Great to know that The Beagle carried on the tradition after I'd taken the King's Shilling. In the early seventies it was quite simply the best place to be and we had some wonderful times in there.

When I went back last year, to Smicker's 50th, the atmosphere was still the same. I spent the evening with the Eyre twins, Sue Martin (Bungi's wife) and a few others, and supped about a gallon and half.

Glorious!!

but it doesn't have an answer to your question. It seems that loads of people from different areas remember him but no-one seems to know where he came from - a bit like The Lone Ranger I guess

I saw his bike once, parked at the top of the 8 foot. I think he used to get a cup of tea from Mrs Mansell.
