Mike, I enjoyed looking at your pictures of Cotton End. I grew up in the village and was sad to see the second pub boarded up. I had to smile at you calling it The Harrers - it was actually The Harrows, as in farm implement, but I know the local pronunciation is Harrers. My grandparents ran that pub in the 40's and much of my childhood was spent there. I hardly recognize some parts of the village - I haven't been there for over 20 years, but it was good to see The Bell again. Wish I had a dollar for every packet of crisps I bought at the back door. Thanks for the memories. Ex-pat, USA.

Hi Shirley!
Pleased you like the pics. Strange about the pub name though... I was sure I'd seen it spelt "Harrers" when I used to drive by there. Oh well. Useful to know.
