Can anyone tell me if the Brewers Arms is still standing. My parents kept it in the 50's. It was on the corner of Stoney Lane and Highgate Rd.
 
Hello earlgarry

You will be pleased to year its still open, but its like many other pubs around that area now, its a curry house.

Hello Again,

I just thought you might like to see the Brewers as it is now, also a shot of the Queens over the road, which I think is still a pub. What a shame the Brewers used to be such a smart looking building.

Thanks Phil, my how the old place has changed, but at least it is still standing and has not met the fate of a lot of the old pubs of being flattened. It is many years since I have been in the Stratford Rd area but from what I have seen in news reports it is very different from how it was.:)
 
Hi earlgary,
My father's uncle Frank Hudson (& auntie Flo) ran this pub in the 30s & 40s. He used to go there often. Are you any relation?

Some years ago I bought this postcard which claimed it was the Brewers' Arms. I have not seen the original pub [the present building is not the original] so I have not been able to confirm it. Maps show it to be a large building but this just looks TOO large? Still a lovely photo. Any suggestions?
