The Edenberg

[flong]

First post here, though I've been lurking for a while: hello to everyone.

Does anyone know about the corner house that looks like a defunct pub - now apparently a private residence - on the corner of Spurling Road (behind the EDT/Bishop)? It bears the sign "The Edenberg". I've often wondered about it as I've walked past, and can't find any info on the web...

Don really know anything about it, but it's been like that as long as I can remember, so hasn't been an open pub in at least 25, years, probably more.

[jim_the_chin]

isn't it the Fdenberg?

It's seems to have been there forever and I know it looks a bit like a small pub but from what I can tell it may have been used as an off license but I can't be sure of that.

I am intrigued by the red neon sign that hangs in the window.

[CrystalClear]

what does it say?

[blinder999]

Unless I'm imagining it - 'sex'

[CrystalClear]

I thought it was something like that, (I have vague recollections of being told one drunken night).

I think it's just somebody's, somewhat funky house.

I went to a yard sale there last year. I think 2 women live there.

That building on the corner of Spurling RD was once a private drinking club from the mid 1950's up until the late 1960's, and I know this because a relative of mine used to go and play cards and gamble there during the early hours. It apparantly has a basement as well as upstairs. Before this is it was a Jewish deli, but that was long before the dawn of time and i'm sure no one is old enough to remember on here lol... I think it's been a private residence for at least 40 years..

I had a few friends who lived there between 94-98. The parties were legendary! >:D

It was once a place to buy beers and spirits it was called a pub.

I worked with a guy in Telecoms. His Name was Roy Wood and he sadly passed away 7-8 years back.

His father used to own/live there some time back. Really do not Know quite when.

I believe it was an Off Licence.
