Tim Darling	1981-1983	Lived at 137 Beaufort Street. The Roebuck was our local pub and we became a bit of a pain to the Landlord Ian. I also played there a couple of times with a band from my home town Andover, various 137 friends would join us up on stage. All great fun, great days. We went to other local pubs in the area but The Roebuck was our main haunt and I can still see the look of dismay on the Landlord's face as we marched through the doors.

David Reid	1970s - closure	I remember Roebuck as a pretty wild pub with upstairs pool room that was popular with the punk generation. It became my local for a few years as I lived close by.
Colin McKinney	1976-1979	I was employed part time at the Roebuck in 1976-1977, this was during the height of the Punk scene, many of the punk bands would be customers including Sex pistols and Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. It was always busy especially on the last Saturday of the month when the classic cars used to cruise up and down the Kings Road
