Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: CLOCKS
My father with his sister Joan who was visiting from Wales c 1977 - and a partially seen clock is above the PUB sign.
It seemed that many of the "dens" of the 50s and 60s were turned into home Bars in the 70s! (Why go out and drink when it's so much cheaper at home - and you don't have to drive?)
That constant availability wasn't always such a good idea, though.
On another note - so much stuff on those shelves!
My mother and her friends were avid bargain shoppers, and when tag sales became popular they were in heaven - especially with a theme (like PUB stuff) driving them.
I have two things from those very crowded shelves. The pewter beer mug on the far left top shelf, which was an early gift from my mother to my father - and one he often used, and the (hard to see) bottle on the very far left, which came from Peru, is a light blue green, and which features a man's face in a Peruvian hat with the long neck coming up from the top of his head.
