Back in the days when the RGO was
in Herstmonceux us astronomers from London always visited it when we were
there. The landlord (late 1970s) was a Welshman and one of us was also Welsh
so we got on well there. At closing time we were ushered into an outhouse
round the back and carried on drinking. The Welsh colleague (no names as
he's a bit more well-known nowadays) had a battered old motor bike at the
time. The rear light didn't work and so we borrowed a torch from the
telescope dome. On the way back, he drove and I sat on the back shining the
torch backwards. It didn't really matter as there was never any traffic
there. |

My 3x great uncle, William Gander ran
the Beer house in Chapel Row from 1871 census. It became The Welcome
Stranger on the 1891 census. |
