Photo from the 1950's and one from 2012.

It's hard to imagine how another building managed to squeeze in between the pub and the banner shop (former Co-op) as well as the entrance to Albert Place.

On the original shot from earlier this year, it is still possible to make out 'The Harp' on the swinging pub sign, even though it was painted over.

This was a great pub before the bigots took it
over. Always the Harp for me.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
