A visit home took the family on the Derwent water launch. Beautiful sunny but cold day. On the way home lunch at Oily's

Oilys Pub or as I will always know it - Oily Johnnies - our local when I was growing up. Not because it was close to where we lived but where my mum worked. So many memories of Day and Clare the owners, Christmas mornings and of course Mum, Dad and the family.
The building that Oily's is situated in has been used as a public house for over 100 years; it has previously been know as the Royal Oak, and the Oily Johnnies Inn. Oily Johnnies was given its name after one of the pub's landlords, James Kirkpatrick, who used to sell paraffin oil from a shed adjacent to the pub - he was known locally as Oily Johnnie.The pub had a sign saying "The Legend of Oily Johnnies".
