I remember Mrs Worral going to the Elm Tree at least twice a week in the late fifties and early sixties, she lived on the Woodthorpe, Fishponds Road?, she caught the 71 bus from the Manor Top after the pub closed at night, she got off at Hastillar Road and walked down to her home from there, she wasn't a young woman either, she was always a bit tipsy but never offended anyone, I went to school with her son Joe.

used to go in both of them in the 70s when i first went in the arbourthorne in 1971 the d.j was ray stewart before he went on the radio and the elmtree was run run by gladis ? a very strict scottish woman . you was thrown out for just looking at her. she stood for no nonesense

 

I remember Ray Stewart he used to do loads of pubs was regularly at the Windsor also.

 

Also remember "Gaspin' Gus's Roadshow' at the Arbour

 

Always wondered whatever happened to Gaspin' Gus
