Would this be the same Tom Brown who had the Park Hotel?

Yes he is the same guy. I remember the long photographs of the Great Britain Touring teams he had in the pub. I wonder what happened to them???

Ron - all the photos from the Park went 'down south' to Highams Florists retreat, in Devon i think. He did a deal with Mrs Brown.

When I worked at John England's in the 1960's I would go into the Park Hotel sometimes for my dinner. We always went in the 'Back' room where Tom was always sat with a couple of his friends (To me he looked an old man then) I can remember he always drank Rum and Horlicks.I keep meaning to try it, but I never have.
