Picture source: Sue Adair

The Bow & Arrow was situated on the corner of Princess Drive and Yew Tree Lane.

I grew up in Princess Drive in the late 40’s and lived there until 1964. The Bow uses to have a more than useful football team with the pitch being alongside the pub. I remember the locals gambling outside the pub, when it was illegal and seeing the police cars arriving to catch and arrest them: invariably unsuccessful. When I was eighteen ( legal drinking age being twenty one) my grandfather visited us and he and I went to the Bow for a few bevvies. That night we walked/staggered home, arms around each others shoulders ( probably for support) and singing our heads off during the five or six minutes back to our house. Happy days, thank you Bow.
