When did pub first open ?
The Dick Whittington pub opened for business in 1957
I was commissioned to paint the pub by the then landlady, Pauline. I still have some limited edition prints if anyone interested. Check it out on website http://www.toullafineart.co.uk
My Dad’s local, fond memories of sitting outside in the garden, or the benches at the front of the pub, drinking Orangillo and eating an arrowroot biscuit as a child.
I worked in the pub when Marie and John Jefferys, with Derek Rawlinson who lived in Ilkey Road, owned it in the mid 60’s. We both worked there until Maureen and Seamus took over. It was great fun but hard work especially at week ends. I still see people on the estate whose parents were regulars.
