The Duke of Wellington, Twyford

this old pub was where i spent a lot of my childhood years as my grandmother vera shanahan / gibbs ran this beautiful old establishment along with both husbands jack shanahan passed away around 1967. i believe they ran this pub for approximatley 20yrs. my brother and i spent many a holiday there going for long walks and enjoying a cold pepsi and crisps. in 1977 my family emigrated to australia. in 1984/85 my nan and her 2nd husband, norman gibbs, emigrated here.
all i have left from the duke are a couple of babysham glasses and photos. in 1988 my husband and i made a trip over to the uk and i went to visit the old pub and trying to remember how things were. i would love and photos of the duke inside and outside just to see how things have changed please send to my email address. thanks heaps for any info recieved.
