''Hi Gren,

Where is the New Inn on the bottom picture?

Andy''


Hi Andy,

The old Nuneaton RFC ground was situated behind The New Inn public house in Attleborough Road which was kept by Walter (Wash) Harris who is fondly remembered as one of the best known Rugby characters in town. The ground at that time was known to all of us as ''The New Inn'' and the pub was subsequently renamed The Rugger Tavern.

Wash's son (Wash2) Bill is a very good friend of the Old Eds and played an important role as the rep for Bass Brewers when we were building the existing clubhouse at Weddington in the early 1970's.

All the best,

Gren
