Phil, they used cure lambs pigs and ox tongues in brine for about two weeks then they would cook them and can them.
They also did stewing beef meat paste and baked beans in tomato sauce.
We never went hungry working there.
This is an Ox Tongue try putting that back into your mouth.

Hiya Phil, This photo of the Old Roan Pub was taken before the railway was built so i would say before the 1850s.

From what I remember , I was told they used to stand on a hill ? to watch the national. It was definitely before 1960 and after as well. He was there a long time. They were at Liverpool Uni together in the 20s studying Chemistry.
