GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Re: your query at #2242 of this thread, Peeping Tom came from my site here: https://www.msheppard.com/photos03.htm and was a postcard that I bought many years ago when I used to buy and sell old postcards. It's date stamped 28th October 1907 and I may even have the original somewhere - when I can get around to sorting out this computer room!

mossq,
I have no memory of either of the pubs, but I am only going by what the directory says. In the direction the photo is taken it would have been the Vine Inn. The other way it would have been The White Horse.

Have tried to intensify the image of the large building below. It does look to me as if it is on th efarthest corner of theodore st, not the nearest corner. therefore, from Kellys, it cannot be the Vine, as that would be on the nearest corner.
There is another slight problem also. Am not sure which year you took details from Kellys, but I first looked at 1921 and got a similar list. However, if you go to the 1900 edition you get Anne Wilson at 136, on the opposite side of the junction, towards HATCHETT St as shown below.! However I think that is an error in the 1900 Kellys.

Here is a poor quality picture of The White Horse on the corner of New town Row and New John Street,The gent is standing in New town Row.
I have never seen a picture of The Vine which was known as The Clock, so as not to confuse it with The Vine Summer Lane which was in the same block or square as we called it.Moss

Mike, My Kelly's extract comes from the 1950's edition. Your enhanced photo doesn't look like The Marquis of Lorne though does it? Anyway it would be too far away on the corner of Cecil St. I am looking for a photo of the Vine Inn, but I don't seem to have one. If anybody can come up with one it might help to clear things up a bit, as I have said previously I have no idea what the pub even looked like.
I agree Phil that it is not the Marquess of Lorne. I would , however, query if it was The vine (because I think it looks like it is on the wrong corner), which presumably means it is not necessarily a pub, as , if it is not the vine, then there do not seem to be any other pub possibilities

Mike, I can only go back to 1903 with my library of Kelly's directories, but in that particular edition that corner is listed as dining rooms. Would dining rooms have been in such an elaborate purpose built building? Or would it have been a public house some time earlier. I see that in later editions a coppersmiths from Theodore St had extended into the building, or there again did they have it built?
