The Lamb
Trevor Protheroe, John the Lamb and Jim Ryan - Johnny Lewis, the landlord of the Lamb with his two barmen Trevor and Jim. John’s family were from Heolgerrig. Before the Second World War he trained to be a jockey in Worcestershire and he always wished he had been a vet. His brother became an Anglo-Catholic priest in Spain. The Lamb was the most amazing pub in the world where you would meet people from all walks of life from barristers to the unemployed. Harry Webb the poet used to drink there, as did Jack the Roller, Sid Hill and the Brigadier along with Swazi the Indian chef who once pissed on his potatoes. The pub was demolished by the council in 1973 to redevelop the town centre.
