My husband's grandparents used to own it during the sixties and seventies. The pub was run by Arnoldus Van der Heiden and his second wife, Ivy Gladys Lawford, whom he married in 1959. I think Van's sister Josie took over from Van at some time. Van was the son of a Dutch gin distiller - William Van der Heiden.

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
