The Old Postoffice
« on: February 21, 2018, 18:33:31 PM »
Has anyone got a photo / photos of The Old Post office Bar in Calis by the bridge which were taken around 13 to 14 years ago when we first stumbled upon the Real Calis as was then ??. the best place to be in at the time

due to a misshap 1 page of my scrapbook log of our Calis visits of 13 yrs  has bad coffee spill damage [ don't ask how ] and its ruined my photos.

Thanks in advance if you can post any on this  this forum so I can print them off.

Ron

Think someone (Scunner/Highlander?) posted a photo of The Old Post Office bar a while ago, maybe they still have it.
Will have a look through ours to see if I have one.
Great bar, happy memories   :)

By the Old Post Office I assume you mean the site of where B52 was.



scunner's is much better.

I must have had a few on old rolls of film which no longer see the light of day.

I am away at the mo but know the photo H means, I will post it when I get home.

But to me the ‘old’ Post Office isn’t the one in the photo?

The one in the photo was brill, a who’s who of Calis bar staff.  Amazing times.

Ok so I couldn’t leave it alone  :)





Arriving is the current Mrs Scunner and our twins, which dates the photo at exactly 15 years ago, 2003.

The 'old' Post Office is before our time.

Two of the "who's who" who remain great friends to this day. From 2000 I think.




Plus cowboy, Mahoney (the present Mrs H's "favourite"  :o), Mustafa, Joseph.......
