[Margaret Pilkington]

this request is not to satisfy my wonderings, but himself has been down to the bowling club and they were discussing it there.
Himself remembers the last night in there before it closed.......in those days one pub had to close before another one could open....and it closed so that the Astronaut could have a licence.
I don't know if it is the same today.....one pub closes before another one gets to open........more pubs are closing today than opening!
