The Warwick Hotel, New Barnet
Before I went to university, when I was still living at home, I used to go drinking in this pub, with an old school friend called Pete.
The Warwick Hotel, New Barnet
In those days in the 1960s, it was called the Warwick Hotel and although it is now closed its last name seems to have been The Bell And Buck.
I really don’t know why we went there. it might have been, because I looked under-age and they would accept any customer with money. But we’d usually have some beer and a couple of games of cribbage.
Little did I realise that my future wife was probably tucked up in bed, just round the corner.

And the pies James, they did Telfers Meat Pies. Little did I know that I’d end up at their local nick, West Ham.Saw lots of meat products coming out of the place, never saw any meat goin g in. Next door was a chemical works, Bush, Boake and Allen who produced, inter alia, carboys of Orange concentrate, likewise never saw a single orange going in to the place. All swept away now, buried under the Olympic Park

Probably not missed by anybody, except those who worked there. I haven’t had a meat pie in years.
