Today it would not survive for 5 minutes. Ed: Thanks John, yes I seem to remember that Clock though I never met anyone underneath it.  Having a discussion with a friend about the clock, they said it was square and set onto a board, though I thought it was sort of octagonal and hanging on two chains.  Perhaps you have a clearer memory of it. Anyone else arrange to "meet up under Pinney's Clock"?

Lottie Mason was the waitress for many years.She was a great lady. In the 50's we would spend hours with our frothy coffee waiting for local boys and RAF lads to arrive.Lottie was a great match maker.Several of us married boys that we met in the cafe.I remember she had a son called Vincent. betty November 17, 2010 @ 3:53 PM Reply  |  Email  |  Print  |  Top It was Lotte Mason who worked in the cafe above Pinneys.  She had a son Vincent a big friend of Clem's who was also a young Teddy Boy.  His mum kept us girls filled in with who was going out with who.  The cafe was part of the White Heather.   I have got a piece of jewellry still in its original box marked "Pinneys" this belonged to my late mother Pete November 23, 2010 @ 9:00 PM Reply  |  Email  |  Print  |  Top I bought my fiancée an engagement ring in Pinneys.
