Bump!

Over 100 photos were taken of this innovative scheme. A traction engine pulling a trailer carried the preformed slabs from Cobbs Quarry on St. Domingo road to the site. They were made using clinker from a refuse destructor and was masterminded by John Alexander Brodie.

Kev' or Ged,
any idea of the name of the pub, on the opposite corner to the "Glasshouse"?? (pic' no' 8)

[Ged]

No sorry Steve, it's not even in A pub on every corner by Freddy O'Connor.

So, the mystery continues

I've got to go to the LRO sometime in next week or so. Will see if I can find out, I've made a note in my history notebook

The 1906 map does not list the building as PH Public house. It is all on the map and the glass house is listed as PH. opposite over Vauxhall road is a huge Gasworks, so maybe named after these?

All I can say is, it's definitely a pub,as there are ad's for Kensington mild, etc, on the side of the place.It's on the same side of Vauxhall as the "Glasshouse",
