I know that horses sometimes unseat their riders, so I assume this is what has happened here! |

replied on: 1/7/2007 9:00:46 AM I noticed too. To be fair, everyone I know refer to it as The Jockey anyway! It must be a bit strange to those who have known it as different for years mind you! |

replied on: 1/7/2007 9:39:05 AM Well, probably to keep up with the times. I notice there's a plackard outside with some info on...often those sort of things tell you more about the history of a place? Mind you...am not volunteering to go have a look...I swore years ago that I'd never go in the Jockey again! |

replied on: 1/7/2007 10:24:54 PM The placard doesn't say much. Mainly its about the fact it used to be a farm before it was the Horse and Jockey, some very basic info about the buildings and the fact that one of their regulars was a monkey. Ironically the the placard calls is titles "The horse and Jockey" |

replied on: 2/10/2007 7:13:36 PM does anyone know when the original "horse & jockey inn was demolished...looking on picture the past there is a picture of it with what looks oddly like a wood yard at the side...the crossing is still there on the front and there is a car in the car park which looks like a late 1950s hillman... |

replied on: 2/11/2007 12:30:51 PM right..there's two pictures and one suggests that there was an allotment at the front side?..also there looks like there is scaffolding behind the public house..this was a 1960s photo. |
