Hi,
I do remember the Adelaide, it was on the corner of Erskine St and Vauxhall Rd,
I used to live in Hindlow Close (which was originally Scott and Spooner St.)
I used to go to the outdoor there as a boy to fill some old pop bottles with stout for my Mom., I was about 11, I think...They used to fill the bottles then put a sticker over the top to stop us tampering with it or something (Why they did that is beyond me, if it was to stop us, why sell it to us in the first place?)
I was in there getting beer the night a guy ran into the pub asking for Bernard Cueson, Bernard was (I think) the father of triplets, the guy came in to say that one of the Co-op Dairy's big HGV'S had run over and killed one of his sons...that was about '64
I also seem to remember just down from the Adelaide was one of those old fashioned pawn shops that my dads only suit always seemed to end up in.
But in answer to your original question, no sorry, I dont have a photo.
Be well and have a lovely day.

Gone, but not forgotten.
Hello Angeleyes
I used to drink in the Adelaide about 1965/66. I used to drink in the back room with all the Irish lads, I think there was only me and a scotch lad who lived over the road in the tower block that wasn't Irish. Sorry I don't think I have any photo's, but I will have a sort out. I remember being in there the night that some one ran in with an axe and gave some one a clout across the head with it. All over something that happened in Ireland when they were kids. And they say that violence in pubs is a modern thing.
