I lived in this Pub during WWII as an evacuee for 3 years 1940-1943. There were 5 boys all from London, looked after by Mr. & Mrs. Dick Luke. We were there when the German plane crashed onto the house on the corner near the Town Hall. Can anyone still remember this. I have lots of happy memories of St. Just. vanloen@aol.com

The best years of the Miners Arms were when Al and Barbara ran it. The best landlords around. The Miners will never be the same.

iused to be the tenant of this pub the reason it was called the wink and so were many other pubs in the area was they only had a licence to sell beer, so if you wanted something stronger in there beer they gave the landlord a wink, nod nod know what i mean

I bet David Van Loen has never heard of the Anonymous Alcoholics Society that used to frequent "THE ZOO". It was so called by local people because of the animals that drank there.

I knew it as the zoo. I know several surviving ex members of the old anonymous alcoholics society group.I believe there were 10 of them.

I am one of the two Anonymous Alcoholics Society that is still alive. We named it "the zoo" because of the Human "creatures" that drank there David V.L! Nothing to do with FARMERS'DOGS. Ed Olds (RIP) was the latest of our Society to pass away.

Al and Barbara were the best landlords in town.The wink was the best pub, people would argue, laugh,fight but Al was like a father to everybody, never lost his temper.The bands played great music.It was like a zoo at times! Glad I was there when it had its best years.Good memories.
