The pub behind Marriots is the Lord Exmouth 82/84 exmouth st I lived there from 1932 until 1951 when my father was the manager.
I have fond memories of Marriots yard which before had been a coal yard, I think it belonged to Walter and he had a guy who helped him but when Walter went out he used to dash into the bar and swallow a swift half in one second flat then dash back to work. I remember some names from Lowther st from those days. First there was the Kearns family a tough famiy but good hearts, then there was Vera Lalley who was mentioned in Paul ogradys book, a lovely girl whose name was Vera Buntz until war broke out then like a lot of others she and her mother shed the german name. There was a very strong Orange Lodge family as well whose name evades me who caused consternation when they brought a horse into the street for somebody to ride as King Billy for the parade down Conway st.

The sisters with the fish shop in Exmouth st opposite the Lord Exmouth [where I used to live] were called Jones and next door was a small dairy owned by a guy called Bellis.
