South Western Star. 01 February 1963 - Getting to know the Guv'nor, Mr Aubrey Webb.
"I could write at least two books on what I have seen since starting in an off licence shop at 13 years of age".
Then he became a shop assistant in Brixton, but "decided to get in a more honest trade". and worked behind the bar in a Stockwell pub.
His service in three other pubs was interrupted by the First World War which took him to France, but he returned hone uscathed, and determined to have his own pub.
Soon he was Guv'nor of the Duke of York, Clapham, and moved to the Bell before finally settling in the Windsor Arms, where he says he will spend the rest of his life.
