i forgot to mention that my mum maggie ganderton was the landlady of the queens head pub that stood in the centre of the road at the saddle junction. mum and dad kept the pub for 13yrs untill it was demolished in the early 70s to make way for the new road system,but i do not think they have improved it one bit in fact it is far worse. i have put a photo o the pub in album,assorted,saddle junction

look how well turned out these ladies were.
They valued their customers enough to make sure that always looked their best-you could spot a landlady straight away.
Sadly a lot of todays landladies do not make the effort.
