I certainly do . Though perhaps not with great accuracy - weren't the clothes a sort of gingery brown and involved plus four trousers ? Or has my mind invented that ?


I do remember them being very strict - cycling only allowed on the main road round the edge of the park .

Yes it was a rough material and in a gingery brown too. There was a lady park keeper who wore a round brimmed hat who was quite stout and very scary to us children. They used to have small wooden huts for the park keepers which were dotted around the park. Thanks for finding the photo. All good memories!

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
