Fond Memories

From Pam Ogg:

“I was in Kalbar yesterday and called into the pub for a nostalgia trip. As a child and young teenager I spent many a happy visit at the hotel and have very fond memories of the same.

My Dad was an army buddy of Jim O’Callaghan (the publican from around 1946 to 1962/3 approximately) from World War 2 and as far as I can work out this photo would have been taken just after the war, possibly 1946.

On my visit yesterday I spoke to a gentleman called Bruce in the Bar and he suggested you might like to see the photo. The ladies working there were also very kind and showed me around. I must congratulate you on the new dining room and the improvements you have made.”

Taken by Pam Ogg’s parents with a Brownie Box circa 1948. Depicts the publican Jim O’Callaghan with his eldest son Michael at the side of the hotel.
