John Doylend tells us that he was born in Park Hill, Oulton in 1945 and remembers the Red House. It always tickled his young sense of humour for a pub of that name to be painted white. However this was necessary because it protruded so far into the road to be a road hazard and those stepping out of the front door were immediately in the carriageway. A cart shed was attached. It was open at least into the 1950s and the last landlord I can remember was named BURWOOD.
