Looked on Leodis but doesn't mention anything.Can anyone shead any light on it Thanks My great great great grandad ran it until God knows when. His name was Squire Bailey, his wife was Clara Eleanor Bailey nee Simpson. It was called the Green Man Hotel in the photo I have from around 1925. He shows as being there from the 1901 census records but wasn't there in 1891 so somewhere in those ten years he took it over. They had 5 children, Lily Sophia Jane Bailey, Eleanor Beatrice Bailey, William Simpson Bailey, May Simpson Bailey and Harry Simpson Bailey.Any help you could give me about these members of family would be great!!

It's a wonder mixed drinkers didn't all die of E.Coli or other weird diseases!

))Sorry - hope I didn't put you off yer tea? :-O Hey - come on ! A pint of mixed was a half of bitter with a half of mild in every pub I went into in the 1960s !

A pint of mixed, is as you rightly say, half of Bitter and half of Mild. However, there were a hell of a lot of landlords who would stick the dregs from glasses, drip trays etc and filter back into the mild. Hence Scandy's assumption!
