The Hangmans Tree was situated at 143 Oakham Road. It has now been demolished, to be replaced with residential units.

Large ‘estate’ pub, built around 1960. I remember it as it was the Friday night haunt for local 6th formers in the early 1970’s. Supposedly named after the ‘Dudley Hangman’ who I believed lived in a nearby cottage (years earlier!) although there were some suspiciously large trees around the pub! area. It was also the place my husband chose to propose to me in 1976.
