Re: Death of tradition.

The Globe Inn had a snug when my grandmother had it 1927/1960 aprox, in the late 40s/50s it also served as grandma's downstairs lounge and was only open on certain evenings, as women would not dream of entering a public house unacompanied by a man in those days. No decent woman would even go in a tap room as this was also called the smoke room and women did not smoke in public either, the language and fights that developed would also put them off, this did not happen much in the Globe as grandma ran the pub as a widow and was respected for it. Drifting off thead a little women who did their washing on any other day except Monday was considered as 'common'.
