Cumberland Hotel St. Luke’s Road
The Cumberland Hotel is pictured here in the 1950s when it was a Simonds’ pub. The Cumberland was later to become a high class restaurant named the Star & Dove!

The following information and recollections were kindly provided by Paul Brown.

My father was Stanley Edward Brown and he was the Landlord of the Cumberland Hotel in St. Lukes Road which he ran with my mother Phyllis from 3rd October 1966 until 1980. He took over from Cyril Beale who ran the pub until October 1966. I don’t know the date that Mr. Beale commenced his tenancy. Just out of interest on one of the supporting struts of the shelves in the wine store behind the bar, all previous landlords had signed their names. My father was also the president of Bristol West and Bristol South Skittles Leagues. There were ten skittles teams at the Pub and four Darts Teams, including the Super League who played in the upstairs clubroom in complete silence, so serious was the game. A great friend of my dad’s was Councillor Bert Pegler (also a keen skittler), who subsequently became Lord Mayor of Bristol. Mum and Dad dined at The Mansion House with Bert on several occasions. My father employed, as a barman, Horace Laurence (Larry) who first worked as a pot boy for William Hurford who ran the pub in 1944. He stayed on working in the pub until 1980 when my dad retired. There are lots more interesting and funny stories that we could relate about our happy times at The Cumberland.
