I owned The Shades, Bishop Stortford (a Ben Trumans house); The Prince of Wales. in Mountnessing (A Ridley pub); I bought and put managers in The Bird in Hand, at Earls Colne. And the Globe in the Raynesford Road, Chelmsford. Bernie Inns bought the pub from me. In later years I sold up everything and bought a wine bar in Upper Street, Islington, Marsdens Wine Lodge, A free vintner wine bar dating back 500 years we had no license but had a royal charter, from Queen Anne. We could open all day & night and the police could not interfere , but as law-abiding citizens we shut the doors at 11 o'clock, but let the customers stay, closing usually about 1 o'clock in the morning. The Winebar was used by many many famous television and film personalities as regular customers.  **
