Hi Lyn - Do you know roughly when this pub opened and when it was demolished?
I hope someone can find a picture for you.

Looks like a late 50s early 60s pub to me. Dek

hi pol..it was a 60s built pub and im looking for pics for someone else...dont think it ever recovered from when a man was shot and killed outside it in 2007....think it was demolished about 2 years back now..

I thought it looked like an awful 60's building (I am not a fan of 60's buildings)
If it was in the news in 2007 perhaps there will be pictures about from that time - although I expect you are looking for ones from the 60's/70's.

cant find anything yet pol but i do agree with you about 60s buildings...i lose no sleep over the loss of them...
