My friend's Dad was the publican in the seventies, a tough bugger who took no nonsense. The pub was always a solid boozer. Along the side was the alleyway that was used for horses that pulled the canal barges, the canal went through a tunnel at this point and the horse went up the side of the rec and down this ginnel. As kids, we would hang about and get a ride on a barge through the tunnel.
