This is about Daisy Elizabeth Bunn who was the wife of George Inverness
Hayes and died at the "3 Crowns" in 1999. ***
Daisy's parents had a fruit stall at Woolwich Market & Daisy was born & grew
up in Woolwich. She married George Inverness Hayes at Woolwich town Hall &
in the evening went to her new home The 3 Crowns in Bledlow Buckinghamshire.
She was put staight behind the bar to serve drinks on her wedding night!
This was a big change for Daisy, whose parents were both tea total. From
that day onwards it became Daisys life, she served the drinks while her
husband sat & chatted to the customers, playing cards etc. They also served
cream teas, yet another job for her,not to mention the added task of filling
cars etc with petrol from their petrol pump. There was apparently a great
big framed photo in the Ladies salon, of the Hayes family Public house The
Inverness arms in Plumstead, where her husband was born (hence his middle
name being Inverness). It had lots of family members looking out of windows
etc & The draymans horse & cart outside.Daisy's mother in law was a very
stern lady who had to be obeyed and she used to keep on at poor Daisy to
clean & polish the frame of the photo. My husband Percy Frederick Hayes
remembered it from his childhood visits. Many years later we visited Daisy
with our son Paul who, like me was very keen to view it. To our horror,
Daisy told us that when her husband & mother in law had died she decided to
close the Pub and use it as her home. The first thing she did was to saw up
the said family photo and dispose of it !! After years of being made to
clean and polish it. All she wanted was to get rid of it for ever. We were
so disapointed. Although I must admit i could see why she did it ! ***
