[RonnieW]

A Bass Charrington pub as I recall. It wasn't the Spion Kop.

I'm not sure George , i never went in any of the pubs there , i was too young , they were old peoples pubs , i think the little off licence was in Devonshire place , it could well have been called by a different name . I don't recall a pub called the Adelaide though , was that there before the clock ? Do you remember the Beacon Light on Mere Lane ?
