Next door the the Tea Pot Cafe was a garage and filling station, in the 1960s the petrol attendant was Joe Waterfield a small dapper man from Great Glen, known in the village as "Joe the Goose". During the pantomime season he played the goose in "Mother Goose" in Nottingham and other towns. He did part time work at the Greyhound pub and kept his costume in an attic room above one of the garages. I remember being allowed to see it, he was a good friend of our family and a real gentleman. I was born in Great Glen almost opposite the school in 1945, our house was what we used to call "The house in the middle of the street". We lived with my grand parents (mothers side) till they died Gran 1950 Grando in 1954
