| Here is
one of the original photos (Fig. 1.1) taken outside the Gamekeeper
in 1957 on a days outing to Southend. Jack is seated in the front row
with the straw hat.
The Gamekeeper
was then made up of three partitions, a lounge, public bar and an Off-licence
and held regular entertainment on most evenings with the piano situated
in the lounge area where anyone could take their talent and play to
their hearts content.
Fig. 1.2
shows a typical evening at The Gamekeeper in 1962. Pictured here playing
is Mr. Christopher Skillern banging out an old tune, he now resides in Cornwall I'm told, his granddaughter Kerri is presently an employee here.
