David Perry they used to sell beer and my father used to stop there on his way home from the Coast and my mother had her very first alcoholic drink there _ a sherry!

Lorraine O'Donoghue
Ha ha thank you. Probably knew that then but forgotten it over the years. It would have been in the 60's that Mum had the sherry.

Stayed there years ago when Steve Mcgrath had the place, Great spot, at night the Coast mist moves in and you gotta wonder if a truck will come thru the place, Great to see its getting a new life

I think our Nana Eddy used to work there as a cook for a while.

Mary Kirkwood
Marilyn Rea-Menzies Yes she did, I remember going up there, on a Sunday and sitting around the big table with bus passengers for a hot lunch, also Nana used to take us across to the river in summer for a swim.

Marilyn Rea-Menzies
Yes, Mary, that would have been fun. We never got up to Newton Flat at all, but I do remember when she was there.

Marilyn Rea-Menzies
Yes, I guess that was about when it was. A long time ago now.
