Woodman Public House Easy Row

I would love to see the beautiful interior of "The Woodsman", again if any one has access to some Colour prints or photos, Paul
 
When I used to go to the CBSO symphony concerts in the town hall in my 20's (in the 1950's) I would sit at the back sometimes, behind the orchestra, and during the interval would nip out the back entrance for a quick drink in, I think, The Woodman. Half the orchestra would be there downing a pint before we all returned.

Described as "the handsomest hostelry in the Kingdom" in this 1893 advert. Don't really know what "American, French, German and all Dramatic Papers taken" means. Does it refer to newspapers journals, magazines perhaps ? Is that what "Ordinary Daily" refers to ?
