Still have fond memories of the ‘Model’
from 1966. Mine hosts were Bob and Marion Benson when a fellow Kiwi and I
boarded with them for a short time. Think we paid 7 guineas each for bed and
breakfast on a weekly basis. Seem to recall that Bob was the breakfast cook
– big, tasty breakfasts. Quickly made a lot of friends (some lifelong) from
socialising in the pub. We landed jobs at Baxters, Sarre, and played rugby
for Canterbury Remember watching England win the 1966 World Cup on a black
and white TV while boarding privately in Shaftesbury Ave. Those were that
days – thank you Model Tavern and all those who socialised in you! |
