I remember going here for a drink with my pals on Sundays when pubs closed. This was in the 1960's when there were strict licensing laws: last orders at 10pm. |

Duddingston House - - Opened by Edward Glastone as The Mansion House Hotel in 1963. It had been derelict and empty for many years and suffered extensively from Dry Rot after most of the lead on the roof had been stolen. The added photographs show the frontage and inner hall after renovation. Photos by his Son Ted Gladstone - - For further information and many more photographs of the renovation contact :- Ted.Gladstone@talktalk.net |
