I won’t remember it as I would only 4 in 1963 .I only knew it as a private house . Such a shame as there’s no pubs Whaplode Drove or Gedney Hill
Levi James King was my great grandfather, his son-in law, Arthur Judge ( my grandfather) became licensee after Levi, followed by his son ( my uncle ), Jack Judge, who was licensee until it closed .
My Mum, Betsy Lillian Harrison, nee Judge, was born there in 1921
Thanks for memory. Geoff
