Here's an online sweet shop I use. Similar to arsenal's link. It sure takes you back to your childhood. The swines have changed the prices though.

I think they've borrowed their cartoon characters from somewhere though. Seem quite familiar !

For those with fond memories of Bob Martin's here's a rather sad pic that I've just come across of the premises just before they were demolished in July 1976.

Great pic thanks
Looks like a list of the drinks you could get there on either side of the doorway
Can't remember the railings though - to make you cross by the lights?

Have you by any chance got one starting from the other end of that block?
Looking for pics of The Royal Standard and The George to add to pubs index

Took it off the pic posted by marty99fred and zoomed in via an image viewer and pressed prtsc key on keyboard and pasted it in paint, then saved it
Possibly marty99fred can do a better job from original
photo/scan.
I'd like to see the drinks on offer there.
I only remember blood tonic
