Putney, Lower Richmond Road, South West London, The Spencer Arms pub circa 1905. At the time this photo was taken the landlord was Thomas Sullivan who was born in 1869 in Auckland, New Zealand.

If only I could stop by there for lunch. If my autumn trip to Cuba is canceled, I think I may just have to visit the U.K.
ReplyDeleteVery delicate colouring. I like the milk cart in the road. I see in the google view that the primary school is next door to the pub!
ReplyDeleteI Think I Had A Drink There Once!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother place I know! Is that a speeding motorcar in the background on the left?
