That Brian Hedley him and his wife I think she was called Carole were regulars , along with John Brown, Colin, Sugar, Micky Jolly, John Packard, Alfie, Tommy the pig farmer, and so many more that I cant bring to mind at this minute. Old Reg is sitting in front of the famous portrait of Jimmy that Betty would take down when they fell out It was one hell of a place well patronised it should never have closed ,

Aye thay was called Britannia tables, popular in pubs years ago but the things weighed a tun, cleaners would not be allowed to move em these days Can ya remember if you wanted to have a Tom Tit you had to ask for the sit doon lavvy key and the toilet roll from behind the bar, the key was attached with a bit of string to a great big lump of wood so no one would put it int pocket or nick it, I think most folk would nip tha cheecks till thay got home, but if the tortoises heed was popping oot then ya had na choice

Benny he was and he lived in the greenhouse scoffing one of Alfie the bakers (Shankhoose Patisserie) brown loafs a a treat. I bet thee also remembers owld bloke Chockie when the Folly tried serving food for a short time Betty told old Chockie to come in and get his Sunday dinner (for nowt ) he came in with an old newspaper and when the dinner arrived he hoyed it all in the paper wrapped it up and toddled of yem to eat it, Betty face was a picture. Cats walking on the tables when folk were having a meal, faulty toowers didint have a look in, but it were a right good friendly boozer.

One of the regulars at The Albion (The Folly) was Eddie Hindhaugh and he often comments on the Sixtownships Facebook group and I remembered he had posted some photos of inside the pub. So I asked him if he could remember the name of the goat and you were right to be thinking Billy or Benny - Eddie replied with :- Billy and Benny . There was 2 Goats. And 2 German Shepherds. Joe Joe was one . The other lived outside. As a guard Dog. + there was always a load of crap hanging from the ceiling. This is a compilation of the photos from the Albion that Eddie has posted and I have added the names of who he said they were :-
