The Landlord of the Crispin Arms and 3 customers 1952
Photo: Keith

A photo taken in Birkett Bank, outside the Crispin Arms, around 1952. Our beloved Hillman Minx (1939 version) is ready to take my father (on left) on a rare night out with 3 customers (no drink drive laws to worry about in those days) - mind you top speed of the Hillman was about 40mph. Dick Barnes (Cinema Manager of the Empress in town) is standing next to my father but unfortunately I've forgotten the names of the other two customers but I remember them as very affable gentlemen. Carringtons haberdashery shop can be seen on the left.
