Although I am informed that it was supplied by Rigden's ales of
Canterbury, later Fremlins and then Whitbread; it was bought as a Freehouse
in the late 70s. I am also informed that although the sign says Courage, I
don't believe it was ever tied to this brewery, but obviously sold their
beers.
According to conversation in Facebook the pub in the 1970s was light by
oil lights, and they had a pianola where you just pedalled to play music
that was generated automatically from a punched hole roll or card. They also
played music on a Photograph record player.
