The Cannon Hall has a lot to answer for. I met my wife there in the sixties. Still it can't have been all that bad. We're still together after 41years.

 

Me too, it was a great pub in those days, had a bit of a reputation, but I never saw any problems, they spoiled it when they made it into a disco, but that didn't last long.

 

What did they call the old bloke that collected glasses around 1962 Linda ?

me & my husband used to work behind the bar Linda & Terry Jessop, you might know my husband as Fagin, his nickname

 

Hi minniej

Ask Jerry Tessop if he remembers the Karate classes with Mr Moffat held at the Cannon Hall in the 70s he will know who I am with what I call him I also think you will remember me I worked with Terry for quite a few years on the council .

My husband Peter & myself kept the Cannon Hall & it was one if the best pubs that we kept, we were there in '73 ish for about 8 years.

We left to take a pub in Rotherham.

 

I remember the Karate Club as Pete started it with Alan Mac & we had many happy Sunday mornings in the old concert room before we changed it into a lounge.

 

Those were the days !!!

 

Barbara,

All the sponsered jog's & three leg races round the other pubs in the area & the netball match in the car park !! we raised quite a bit of money for various charities.

Also when we had the concert room altered into a lounge , all the elderly ladies who sat together & Pete chrisened it " Virgins Corner " !!

My parents, Derrick and Audrey Holmes, used to run the pub in the early sixties. I was (nearly) born there in October 1963 and we moved away not long afterwards. He used to tell me the story of how he had the Beatles booked to play there but they got too big and cancelled...

We took over the pub from Jeff & Margaret Harrison in '73ish , I don't know if they took over from your parents but Jeff had been there for quite a few years , perhaps someone else may know.
