Aylesbury Pubs in the early 1960s - Part 2

There are a few missing from the record as I don't have images of them from that time.

I remember the Teddy boys and their drapes and then came the Mods . So many boozers to choose from, but sadly all gone . RIP .

The picture of the White Swan brought back memories; glad to see it's still trading.

My dad frequently had a drink in the JFK in Quarrendon when we moved from Eight Acres in Tring to Argyle Avenue in the early 70's.

My era. I don’t think I would like Aylesbury now.

Friday night pub crawl start at the Plough on the Tring Road, next the John Hamden up the high street, followed by the Crown, then the Dark Lantern if you wanted some Jamaican Woodbines then ended up at the Saracens Head top of Rickfords Hill.
The Brittania on a Friday or Saturday night the only.Nightclub we had.
Would do it all again tomorrow.

Used to live 2 doors down from tbe Duck pub on Bedgrove.
Used to take the empty bottles back to the off license to get the money back.
Happy Days my friends.

The ironic thing is that a lot of the buildings demolished in the 1960s and 70s would be worth a mint now. Not just in terms of market value, but in terms of adding value to the town.

Never understand why they knock down buildings and build new ones, rather then repurpose old ones.

Yes I visited all these at least once the Queens Head was my home from home when I wasn't at the dark lantern. My uncle had a garage next to the Saracens Head in the 1920s and I lived next door to it in the 1960s. Strangely I never spent much time in the Little Vic, Boulborn Street despite working opposite for donkey's years.

Sad so many disappeared especially those I have had a drink in. My wedding reception was held in The Duck.
