PUBS in Bromsgrove were left high and dry this week. The Navigation Inn, in Stoke Prior, was just one of the pubs to be beerless. Davenport pubs, affected by the three-week strike by brewery workers, had completely run out of all draught and bottled beers. Cider, spirits or soft drinks was all that was left to quench thirst. Worried licensee Clifford Jackson, of The Crown, Catshill, said he was loosing £2,500 a week and the Swan Inn, Wychbold, said it was a desperate time. The Park Gate, in Kidderminster Road, had restricted its staff of 12 to just one evening shift a week.
