The Seven Stars was situated on Sandpit Lane. This pub is now a private house known as The Old Seven Stars.
My family lived in the SevenStars, now the Old seven Stars in Bledlow, Bucks, on Sandpit lane from about 1954 to 1956/7(?). I was in Bledlow Primary school for a few years before we moved to Lacey Green area. I remember one year the basement flooded where there were trestle tables and some empty barrels that floated nearly to the top. The road outside was flooded too. The lean-to housed the copper and a bath. The men’s toilet was attached to the side and the Ladies toilet was a brick edifice down the small narrow garden. It gave onto the railway and twice I remember trains going through the gates smashing them. The bench seats were still in the Lounge bar area and a double door halfway down which was the serving hatch for beer I presume. WE only lived in it as a house. The publican lived in a room at the back and there were several bedrooms upstairs. My brothers and I played in the loft which was over the carriage house where there were hay containers for horses in the old days. The farmer Mr Walker opposite used to provide a big bonfire on Nov 5th. The chimney set alight one year and we put snow on it. The station masters home was opposite and the road led to a mill, a paper mill I think. Now the railway is gone and the road paved over from a google earth view anyway.
