The Butchers Arms, Cremyll Street

Of course this was a highlight of my trip. The pub where my great-great grandfather James Clogg was publican in the 1890s. Still there, at the end of Cremyll Street, bang next to the main entrance of the Victualling Yard (the stone wall at the right side of the picture).

The pub was small and bare, with a few locals drinking quietly, and wondering why I was there.

I’ve the print of this pub up above my desk.  It reminds me of this trip, and my past, and my family and all the different strands which brought me to here.
