    Not entirely sure of the history as the owner (he says) was second owner and did not do the work.
    The table has now gone to the snooker hall in the sky.
    Slates to a reclaimation place I would think.
    Shame. I always find it a bit upsetting when I hear of a snooker table being smashed up. Things of beauty they are.

      Both Geoff and Maryfield said at the time it would not be economic to - say - reduce to a correct 10x5
      the owner was apparently happy with the reclaimers offer

            Hahaha. I bet you get loads of flukes on that table,,if you miss your intended pocket it probably drop in the other one, bit like a trick shot, brilliant.

              Can anyone comment on the pocket size?

                Two balls won't fit at the same time... Maybe about right!
