Dear list I have just been given some newspaper clippings about my great Grandparents, Eliza (nee Watkinson)and Edward Stubbs. They were licensees of the Blue Bell Inn, Park Street, Worksop. They retired in 1951.They ran the Sherwood Rangers Inn from about 1929-1933. They then ran the Bluebell. The clippings stated she used to run annual outings to the seaside for local children. She also helped form the Worksop Co-operative Woman's Guild. She also held the position of Chairman of the Women's Licensed Trade Defense Association. Edward was a member of the Licensed Victuallers Association. Does anyone remember them or the trips to the seaside? Are there any pictures available of the pubs? Thank you, Karen Walker
Karen, There's an image of The Blue Bell Inn c.1955 on www.picturethepast.org but not one of The Sherwood Rangers.
