I can remember a few of them, I heard about history of Stafford pubs from some of the older regulars in the coach and horses, when I was the landlady there.
They used to be able to name all the pubs in Stafford and tell you which ones weren't there anymore. The elephant and castle was well before my time. Couldn’t believe there was a pub in Stafford called that and the old blue suitcase.
I recall meeting Clive from the nags - Jos Feenan and Audrey from the eagle -Brian Deakin from the sun can’t recall the name of the lady that had the Falcon before it closed down for good. The bear had Sheila and Tony and then they went to the Shrewsbury arms. The shrew has so many landlords over the next few years. Johnie Howe at the lord Nelson, Trevor at The Rifleman
The old days of making a living from a pub have gone. The pub companies are the only one that make a profit now from the high rents.
