Doug Sherriff died a few years ago. His widow who lives in Salisbury was in touch a while ago seeking reminiscences of his life for their daughter.

The Engineer is an extremely upmarket gaffe these days, as is the Enterprise, up Gloucester Avenue and opposite Chalk Farm Station. The Howff at the top end of Regents Park Road is long gone too. Seamas Ewens was relating to me recently the tale of how the landlords reclaimed it. Just think, I once was able to afford to live just a few doors down from there, and Hedy West lived just over the road.
