Thanks Lyn ,mike thats 4 lovely photo,s of the Junction i must have seen this pub most days of my young life and even when i went to work, as the bus stop was just across the road yet i never went inside. Dek

 

[Astoness]

glad you like them dek....as posted on another thread earlier i do regret being far too young to go into so many pubs are now demolished....must have walked past loads of them but as a kid they meant nothing to me...

Here a couple more slightly older than the previous one, the Junction was a fine old pub that I remember well, even if I never actually drank in there.

Two Great photos there Phil looking at the oldest one it looks like tram tracks down Bloomsbury st and nothing in Gt Franis st .Dek

An old photo, sorry no date but at a time when trams were in operation here.

A slightly clearer copy, I thought it strange that there were no chimney pots but think they were just washed out in the long exposure somehow.
