Another excellent photographer, the only thing missing is that smell of beer and tobacco!! A very good insight into a totally unknown world for me so thank you. The only reason that I mention the smell is that I can recall how it would be very noticeable when you walked past the open door of a pub then, it wasn’t very pleasant, but presumably, like a lot of other things, if you were used to it you no longer noticed it.

Great photos. I remember there was a pub called the Victory in Vyner Street, near Cambridge Heath, alongside the canal, on a corner as in Tony’s photo. Used to go there for lunch and after work in the early 1970s.

I remember Tony Hall from the cartoons he did for me for various trade union magazines and newspapers.

Hi Gentle Author, long time… have moved to Suffolk, near to Southwold, come and see us when you are this way.
The Prince Albert pub is in another of my old haunts Stoke Newington; 33 Victoria Rd. Sadly, I think, now demolished.

Wonderful photographs. Why did we ever get rid of that wonderful School sign?

These photographs are very engaging. They capture a time and a real sense of place and character. Thanks for the extra links to some of Tony’s other work and Libby’s collection.

Beautiful photographs. Have drunk in the Carlton, a short walk from where I work and still in operation, corner of Grantley St and Bancroft Rd

Very atmospheric photos. Those were good days where the pubs were community meeting places. Such a shame that so many have disappeared off the face of the earth. Valerie
