The Cart & Horses: Birthplace of Iron Maiden. |
Saturday May 26, 2018.
When I was just 10 years young, I purchased my first 7" single. It was Iron Maiden's 'Run to the Hills'. I have been a fan of theirs ever since, so I decided that it was high time that I visited The Cart & horses, Stratford, where Iron Maiden performed their first gig, back in 1976.
So, with my friend Len in tow, we made our way to Stratford, via the Jubilee line, to visit this iconic establishment on a beautiful summer afternoon.
Walking into the pub the first thing to greet us was the small stage where, back in 1976, Iron Maiden first performed.

After a couple of photos we grabbed a drink each and admired the merchandise on sale, before heading to the rear garden to enjoy the sun.

A few more photos and another drink was had, before we headed off to continue our walk.
What else was I to drink?! |
