THE old photo of the bowling green stirred up memories for some readers.

One, who has asked me not to print their name, said: "I was delighted to see the photo in The Star. I expect you have had many replies on that subject. However it was a happy memory for me as my family kept the Gerard Arms in Dentons Green many years ago.

"The one in the photo was the 'top green'. As a boy I knew Robinson often seen on the green. The ornate building on the left were the stables from the days when the Gerard was a farm and a pub which were combined until the 1920s."
