I have been trying to remember the names of the two pubs located on Highgate Road, and the corner with Stoney Lane.

The large black & white pub lay back a little, from the road, with the Inner Circle Bundy Clock on the kerbside. The bus drivers would also use the almost adjoining toilets. If I remember correctly, there was a small children's playground located between the pub and the toilets. Imagine that happening in todays world.

On the other corner (literally) of Stoney Lane & Highgate Road, was another small pub. My late sister lived in a house on Stoney Lane opposite the pub, but the houses were pulled down when the junction with Stratford Road was re designed.

It has been sixty years since I was last there, and my mind remembers them as at that time. No doubt it has all changed since then.

The black and white pub. according to info I have was called The Brewers Arms and maybe it still is. Pubs do change names. There are posts in the past here about the pub, so do a search.
I rely on someone else to give you the name of the other one.

The Brewers Arms complete with Bundy clock for the Inner Circle No 8 route and the Lion & Lamb opposite on the corner of Stoney Lane, but what about the poor Queens Arms just up the road on the corner of Queen St just opposite the bus depot?

Many thanks for that, Phil.

Great photos.

Those are the two pubs in question. I think you meant Lion & Lamb, not 'brewers arms', for the other pub, but spot on. The Queens Arms, I am not familiar with, but now you have mentioned it, although I do recall a pub opposite the bus depot.

Of course you are correct, very often my brain does not agree with what I am writing so it changes it, I have just corrected myself. Just to make it clear the Queens was on the other side of Queen St to the bus depot and not the other side of Highgate Rd. As far as I am aware all three buildings are still in existence and are all eating houses of one kind or other.

Looking further into the book, published 2002, The Inner Circle reveals that the Brewers Arms is no longer a pub. It has lost it 'Tudor' appearance and was, at the time of publishing, a balti house.

The Brewers Arms displayed an Ind Coop and Alsops sign on the wall facing up Highgate Rd. I always wondered if Ada Alsop, who was a soprano that sang on Workers Playtime, was related in any way.
Whilst I often walked to Golden Hillock Road School ( to save the bus fare) if I was running late I would catch the No.8 and then sit for what seemed hours while the bus driver stood at that Bundy clock with his hand on the key chatting up that nice little Irish conductress that wore the tight fitting trousered uniform. When we did finally get started we would get caught at the traffic lights at Stratford Rd.
Might as well have saved my penny and just be a bit later!!

This is how all three pubs are now displayed on Google Earth, The Brewers Arms - Chopstix, The Lion & Lamb - Yaqubs, The Queens Arms - Khans.
