genhouhgt Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Anyone remember the pub at the bottom of Parkwood road at Neepsend? I think it was called 'the Parkwood' but was called 'the monkey' by the locals because there was a large stuffed monkey or gorilla in the corner! Does anyone have any memories to tell? Does anyone remember the Pugh family of Parkwood road who frequented tho place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pub was the Victoria Hotel, can't remember Pugh's but there were two lots on there in 1948 at 33 was Herbert, and at 61 was Mrs. Mary Elizabeth, in 1968 Herbert is still at 33,recognise a couple of his neighbours names, Wilcox and Young.

I only knew it as 'the monkey'. The pugh's you mention are my in-law family. Mary Elizabeth was my husbads Gran and Herbert was both her husband and her son 'Harry's' name. (my husbands uncle) He i the one at 33 and was known as 'Happy' for some reason! Anyone remember a man who used to play the accordian in the steet (? sitting on his doorstep) on Parkwood Road, maybe in the 50's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genhouhgt Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi Retep. Were there any HOUGHTON's mentioned on Perkwood Road? Also does anyone know if you can find out the names of the landlords of the victoria hotel about the late 1800's? Herbert pugh senior's father Isaac pugh had a pub called the victoria hotel at the time he died but I think it was in Attercliffe so is likely not the same one.

I always knew the Victoria Hotel as the Monkey, Fred Houghton was at 61 Parkwood Road 1891 census has Vincent Broadbent as licenced victualler at the Victoria. Looks like Isaac Pugh was at 20 Attercliffe Road listed as a beer retailer.
