Brentwood pub history index
Provided by Jean Rigby who relates:
"My Mom remembered Monty's Desert Rats being stationed at Warley Barracks and often coming down to have a pint. Her Dad would let them know when an officer would be coming to find any of them, as they weren't supposed to be out. My nanny & grandad (Mom & Pop Warren) owned a dog, called Chum, who had a blue-black tongue, (as was part Chow-chow) who guarded the pub at night. One night, the local "Bobby" came by and checked the doors. One was unlocked, so he came right in to see why. Chum always let customers and friends in, but knew that he wasn't to be there, so refused to let him out, until the officer called up to my grandad to come down.
