Subject: RE: The Waterman's Arms - Isle of Dogs
I think it was because the snooker hall was so near the pub that they used it. As far as I can make out, the Wentworth is still there. I've lived in Cornwall for over thirty years now and I rarely get back to the East End. The last time was for a sentimental visit in 2004. Though, oddly, I'll be back there for a funeral the week after next - a teacher who was at Mrs Steve's school (Ben Jonson Primary in Stepney) in the '70s. We used to give her a lift to school in the ould Morris Minor. Mrs Steve lived in Bethnal Green before we got married, in a Council flat (Merceron House) in Globe Road. The 106 bus was our lifeline!
