Our local Lidl store had an offer on Brakspear Beer. This brought back some very happy memories of the early 1980's and visiting the local pubs around Amersham in Buckinghamshire. The reason for this area that although I lived in Beaconsfield, I went to school at Raans School and my first job was at Hivac,(which became General lamps and gave me my way into cable TV) a manufacture of valves and neon lamps So the question is, which beers could I remember and which pubs are still open.
Morrels. This like a lot is no longer brewed by the original company
Brakspear Beer Still brewed by the same company.
The Blue Ball
These two were the main pubs our little group drank in. Havn't been back for over 30 years and amazed they are still pubs. Perhaps a visit next time I visit Slough.
The Bell
There were obviously many. many pubs and beers we drank but the above stand out. I am amazed, given the number of Pubs closing that so many of my 'old haunts' are still open. If I remember any more I will update this page.
