Lovely old Bedford pub I was brought up around Balham and the old Bedford how are used to be and how it is now and it’s still the lively show of everything it’s still going and it’s still going good the history of that part in the history of everything around it’s amazing and I’m still living here in Balham and I’m 50 now and my family live here to x
I use to see locals coming out of the Bedford pub off-license, with big jugs of draught beer, etc, to take home. there was a public bar in those days, which had mainly West Indians, ( Caribbeans ) playing dominos, in their stile, bashing them on to the table, for fun. the beer there was Watneys, which I did not like one bit., some Bedford hill prostitutes use to go in the saloon bar,, I also saw them in the bedford hill chip shop up by the high street, getting the dinner, when I came out of the chip shop, I was walking home, when one of the prostitutes said to me ", happy christmas, " and I said " happy christmas " to her, and she said, " any business, not happy christmas " this was about 54 years ago. I was selling beef burgers out side Balham station, when I think Desmond Dekker was playing at the Bedford pub, one night, and when lots of people came out of the pub, and made there way up to Balham station, I thought that I would be able to sell a load of burgers, but they nicked every thing including the money in my pockets
