When future generations come to look back on the Coronation weekend there’ll be lots of footage of national events but here is a record of how the Bank Holiday was celebrated in Spencers Wood…
The Local History Group joined other village organisations – along with Morris Dancers and a fairground organ – at the celebration organised jointly by the Village Hall Committee and St. Michael’s Church. Just as well that we were under cover as it rained pretty much the whole time but this didn’t put off the many families that joined in the celebrations and visited our display in St. Michael’s Church, sharing their recollections of their schooldays and local pubs amongst many other memories.
The Group is currently working towards producing a new book, this time about the history of our local pubs. It’s hard to believe but in the past there were as many as 12 pubs and beer houses in Spencers Wood, Three Mile Cross and Great Lee!
If you have family photos or family stories about our local pubs we’d be very interested to hear from you.
