Eyup Coomsey,I remember Whitmore and Hickin,from Whitwick near Coalville.My Auntie and Uncle had a boozer in Whitwick late 50s,always full of colliers.Drove for them n live in Whitwick, not so many pubs now though Chris
I can’t remember name of the pub,it stood on it’s own,quite a big place as well. I were serving an apprenticeship in Smethwick 1958 and caught the Midland Red X99 Nottingham bus to Coalville from B’ham.Too far to travel home for weekend as I lived in Louth Lincs then.They moved to Whitwick from Diseworth,they kept the Plough Inn there for years and that’s when I came across the name Breedon and Cloud Hill ont tippers as a kid.
