The Cuckoo Inn, Hamptworth

I must quote comment by my friend who with me used to visit the Cuckoo back in the early 1960s:

"The Cuckoo was the one with the little shop on the right hand side. I can still remember the old lady who used to come into the bar in her dressing gown and her hair in curlers to fill up her hot water bottle from the kettle hanging over the fireplace. And that table in the middle that was so well scrubbed it had valleys and hills along its length. The gamekeeper with his shotgun and his dog in the bar. Bitter was only 1/8d a pint when is was 2/6d in London."
