Dene Brook was the start off point for an evenings entertainment - sometimes we didn't get any further than that.

I never drank as a young man. In fact, my first pint was when I was 26.

Can anyone beat that.

Seems strange. Perhaps I'm from a little known tribe.

So... what happened at 26?

 You're right, it was a new beginning.

 Got divorced the year before.

Fell in love for the first time the year after.

Moved away from Rothetham for good.

Had a pint!

Born again.

 You could say that. 

 

Funny thing was, I was pretty wrapped up in the church before the happenings that led to my divorce, so, it was kinda born again, again.

Home local was the Prince of Wales in Greasborough, but weekends the Dickens & Mail Coach, cracking places back in the day (78/81)

Congratulations on seeing the light, welcome to free thinking with no nonsense to tie you down.

 All for light, but we all need help seeing it.

 

We often swap one for another.

 

The important thing is that it is indeed free and any obligations are freely taken on and do not harm others.

Home pub Travellers Inn on old Cowley Hill on way from Thorpe Hesley to Chapeltown, great pub when Ted and Masie had it.
Me and the lads have been known to sleep in the tap room after having too much. In town Prince of Wales in Masbrough, especially when Tony Zammito was landlord. For those who knew Tony, sad to say he passed away earlier this year at his home in North Yorkshire. Some of you may remember him from his time at the Marquis.
