Mary Philpotts - I think your Right Elaine rings a bell, I used to work the bar occasionally and I'm sure the gentleman in the Corner is one of the Blanfords

Elaine Goodwin - I used to work upstairs in the function room

Andrew Clark - Where the guy is sitting, just behind him was a door which lead to the side of the hotel leading to the car park, at that time before the Fuggles were just arches, where staff parked their bikes. The Fridges were also there!

Pam Wildig - Was your dad working there at that time Andrew? I would have thought it was a bit before his time.

Andrew Clark - 1979 Pam....god rest his soul! 🙂 Great to see these images

Pam Wildig - I've been thinking a lot of those early days in the Feathers recently, Andrew, as Dave Cartwright passed away a couple of weeks ago and we spent a lot of time in there with him and Carole (and Morag).

Andrew Turner - It's late 1970s, my sister was living in the flat over Grandad's shop for at least part of '76. I'm not sure when the shop was sold, I think it was sold to the Feathers manager who sold it to the Building Society. I went to college in '77 and I'm pretty sure the shop had been sold by then.

Julia Coole Peckham - Feathers staff lived in the flat above the Midshires - there was a yard at the back with door onto it and also a staircase just inside up to flat . The Feathers had a door onto the yard from their kitchen and that was the way they reached the flat. It was some years before it was discovered that there was only one electric meter at the foot of the stairs and we had been footing the bill for the whole building ! Took some sorting out I seem to remember ! Oops!
