My mum and dad (Reg and Trix Holland) ran the
Artichoke, for I think, a
year, in 1965. They had run
The Swan Hotel
in Rickmansworth High Street from August 25th 1955 to September 12th 1964
when it was unbelievably pulled down for redevelopment! Within a couple
years, any building with a bit of history, had a Preservation Order slapped
on it! I have a list of the Tenants there from 1656 to 1964! My parents then
moved back to Essex, where my grandparents had run pubs and hotels, and took
over The Victory Inn, at Ashingdon for ten years until they retired in 1975.
They are both dead now. *
