tracyf 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 My great auntie and uncle ran this pub, I think in the 70s - they were Betty and Pat - anyone remember them? When they split up, Betty worked at The Loggerheads (Cliff Road) and Pat went to run a social club on Epperstone Road in Bridgford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
