(Born 1945) Interviewed August 2019.

Linda was a receptionist at the Blue Boar Hotel in the 1960s. She started at the age of 16. The hotel was one of the Trust House Fortes group and very smart. She has good memories of a diverse group of staff and happy working conditions. Beer was 11p a pint; chicken curry, an unusual dish, was on the menu; and a boar’s head was on the table at Christmas, dyed blue.
