Opened in the late 1970s. First night was filled with every dreg that had been banned from all Dagenham pubs and soon became known as "The Flying Bottle" ,no explanation needed!

In the early 80s I was a teenage apprentice at Ford.  Occasionally, payday, we'd cross the A13 to have beers n watch the strippers haha.  The place was packed with workers, old men fought their way to the front, us kids relegated to the rear :-). The good old days, innocent fun.
