Lyn - according to my records, the Man O War was demolished in May 2008. I do have a photo of it from 1995, if that's any use, I can email it over to Kieron.i am sure there was a photo posted on here of the man o war some years back but i cant find it..will keep looking though...its a pity that google street view only goes back to june 2008 because we could have found a photo there..unfortunately i think the pub was demolished just before that date as i am pretty certain it was there when i joined the forum in jan 2008..mom used to work there around 74/76 so i did go in there a few times

A lot of these more modern pubs only seem to have a short life. The Man only lasted from 1971 to 2008 - a mere 37 years.thanks for the photo guyarab.. new housing built on the ground now

I used the previous thread about the bus to help me locate the road, then another thread about the road to locate the pub. Those picture clues including Roy Castle, St Luke and the Sun were completely wasted on me lol. They went completely over my head.
Doh, another best guess would have got me a point lol, I kept coming back to the Prince of Wales but just couldn't see it. Well done to those who got it right.
No. neither did I, though I have been in it twice in the last 5 years, once with Astoness
