    The tenements were completed in 1905 and as the concrete is still 'white' presumably the pic was taken around that time. The sign on the pub reads 'BURTON Bitter Beers' ? maybe a Marston's pub?

    In 1901 my great grandmother Margaret O'Connor was licensee of the 'Glasshouse', while my grandfather and his siblings worked as bar staff.
    (Perhaps Ged will remember getting info for me a couple of years back regarding the GH and the Greyhound in Hatton Garden).

    Ah yes anonymouse now you mention it.

    It's a good bet the photo is from around the time the flats were finished, I know a photo exists of the first family moved in etc, it's in my 2nd book along with a number of other photos of the construction. This is the reason the city engineers dept took the photos, to show their development and finished state.

    I'll have a proper look at a few years when I go back to LRO next week. will see if there's a pubs list anywhere as the directory only gives address and person living there.

    Here`s the Glass House yesterday. It looks like nothings changed from the black and white photo days. I thought it was closed down from a distance but it wasn`t. There are some more Vauxhall pubs taken yesterday
    on my flickr site.

    That bloke is leaning to much against the wall...the pub is lopsided.

    WOW! Definitely needs a facelift that pub.. a little paint maybe? Ya think the owners would do a fixer..I would be a little worried on sitting inside there myself.. wondering what lurks about ... Is it as bad in the inside as outside?

    Hello George and Quincy

    George, isn't the bloke just leaning forward toward the wall to light a ciggie, which kind of gives a twist to the perspective on the building? I wasn't there, of course, but that's the conclusion I've come to just seeing the photo.

    All the best

    That looks a bit like Tony McGann, checking the walls are up to scratch! When did the shop next door get demolished?

    Hiya Steve, it does look like MrMcGann of Eldonian village fame. George is the landlord of the Glasshouse and despite its delapidated looking state outside, he still counts on some loyal regulars, my pa in law sometimes drinks in there, we used to live the top of Burly but preferrred Mrs Macks (the rising sun)

    There has been no shop attached to the pub in all the time iv'e known it though Steve and maybe you're getting mixed up with the next block across from where the Aldi used to be. There's Jimmy's chippy on the corner, Marshalls newsagents then the bookies which was formerly the Black Dog pub.

    Hi Ged,
    yeh,your right,I'm thinking the paper shop was attached! I should know better as I lived round the corner,not that long ago,but there again, things seem to change so quickly, over the last couple of years!

    excellent...

    shame that car's there, it spoils the pic a bit.
