Having a very interesting time trying to work this site and looking at all the photos they bring back a lot of memories but some one has spoiled some of them by writing FOXY all over them

thanks for the Photo eggy1948 i spent many a time in there having a gill with the owner Joe metcalf and some of my old marras from the rows.the name Giffo was given to me by Mr brewises stepson Jack Hall who thought i looked like a boxer who was going around the boxing shows at the time, i was ten at the time and working for Mr Brewis on his farm , which was opposite side of the road to Westridge schull , not there at the time though

thanks everybody for the nice welcome
