I was landlord of the Duke from 1977-79. My first (and last)
pub. I used my own money to renovate the place. Ushers brewery supplied the
beer etc. Doomed to fail as too many pubs in the area and not a wealthy
town. Used to have chinese food delivered from Pacs I think he is still
there. Left the pub and moved to the USA. |

When I attended Bath Academy of Art 1969 to 1971
which was located in Corsham, The Duke of Cumberland was then a small pub
which sold rough cider & beer straight from casks on stands. |
