Captains Cabin

 


 
The Captains Cabin was situated on West Street.

This pub was also known as The Admiral. To enter the pub you went down steps from the street into a long narrow bar, adorned with nautical paraphenalia. This pub is now in retail use.

I remember it well even though I was only a child in the 70s when my uncle DJ’d there every week. His DJ name was Phil Vernon. Great memories. He brought in the crowds. Disco lights he made himself with coloured paper and two turntables. Proper jocking!

Ian Dew 1970s Used to drink here when I wasn't working in The Peacock, also an underground pub/disco but lacking the Sunday entertainment and also accessed by a single doorway and staircase! No 'elf and safety back in the day
