I remember this pub very well in
the 1970s. My Father was a musician and played there 3 nights a week for
some while. The pub was very modern in design (for its day) and I understood
had been conceived as a club (disco) but before opening was repurposed as a
pub. I remember the landlord and landlady just as 'Dave and Olive'. They
moved from there to the 'Owl and the Pussycat' at Basildon, which suited
their style better. |
