Jeez, my grandmother was born in Charleston, many moons ago. Her 2nd eldest went to the 1st W War, that's over 100 years ago!

I remember going in the right front door in the early 50s when my parents were going back to Westport after I had played tennis in Greymouth. My sister and I were too young to go into the bar but went into a small room with a mud floor and played skittles.
