Name (Click on link to contact) Dates Comments Michaela 1979 I lived here as a child around 1979 (I was about 5). I remember hearing Adam and The Ants and playing the table top video games. Chris Durkin 1970s/early 1980s Fantastic little pub when I used to drink there. Run by Paul and Diana Thurgood, who packed in the pub game and moved back to Yorkshire after a number of years. Some of the names I remember were John the Fish, Tadpole and the Lee brothers who worked down the road in a butchers, Richie, Clive and Julie (croupiers). Always had a really friendly atmosphere. Owen Johnston 1980 My wife Maureen and I, both Aussies, worked and lived in the Sir Isaac Newton in 1980. Paul and Dianna were great landlords and gave us a room at the very top of the building in return for several shifts behind the bar. I remember the cricket crowd surge that poured in during the lunch break at Lords & some famous musicians such as Peter Sarstedt and Smokey stealing away for a pint during recording sessions at Abbey Road. Paul had 2 giant shaggy English sheep dogs, one of which left me with a scar on my hand! Some locals I remember were John the Bell (so named because he drank Bell’s whisky, John the Fish, Hovercraft millionaire and lovely bloke Peter Zivy, photographer Chris, Dawn our flame haired cook who whipped up huge dishes of cottage pies, bangers, mash etc and her boyfriend Danny, Terry Bourke the kiwi barman who kept running off to Sweden chasing blondes, Mel the interior decorator and his wife Jenny who offered me a room when the landlord after Paul kicked me out. It was a warm and welcoming community. Glenn Eyeington 1980 I worked in pub for a few months in July August of that year. Landlord with 2 big dogs mostly hired Australian or New Zealand Cheap labour. I have a feeling Owen you may have taken me for a game of squash somewhere. It was the year when Yvonne Goolagong won Wimbledon and I watched final in room Stupid as I was a big tennis player and was too tight to pay entrance fee. Was surprised today to see it was no more. I thought pubs were profitable.
