Romsey Pubs & Business's in the 50's & 60's Elsewhere on the Woodley Net website there is plenty of information about the origins and the history of “PUBS”. After reading these I thought I would keep my efforts more personal. The reason for this, I had worked for Jenkins & Sons (Builders) renovating many of the pubs in and around Romsey. It seems that Romsey, in much earlier times had 81 public houses. Therefore, I got to thinking, “how many pubs were there in my time”? After thinking for a while and consulting with Chris (the editor). I have come up with a list of thirty-four pubs for Romsey and the surrounding area during the period between 1950 and 1965. Rack your brains, do your recall any that I have missed? |

Recalling names and places, even from ones own town, can prove quite a challenge after being away for over 35 years. Although over the years my thoughts, memories and visits have come to the fore. It is still difficult to recall all of the great pubs and the businesses that were part of my life as a young man in Romsey. These are a few that I remember...
