Hi Brian how are you doing. Don’t know his last name but will put a couple of photos of him soon

Is that Julian Turner, who used to live in the Crown pub, Goose Green?

Yes it is John, sadly he past away a few months ago R.I.P, old friend

Ahh, what a shame, I remember him quite well - he was a nice lad.
Thanks for that Dougie.

My grandparents ran The Star in the 1950s/60s. Their surname was Gregson. I visited regularly and remember the rambling rooms upstairs. There was also an old barn which we (my sister and I) were not permitted to go into but did! There was a fierce large stuffed bear inside if you ventured upstairs. Don't remember much about the pub. My memories are of the living quarters.

Ancestors ran the pub in the late 1800’s. Can anyone give precise location position. Not in Ashton myself.
