James Gray: This beerhouse was at 40 Islingword Road, from 1870 until being closed on 10 April 1948, when the licence was surrendered. It is hard to say when it was built, though probably, this was in the 1850s. It was a shop before becoming a beerhouse and it reverted to this use when delicenced. jgc_27_007
2018: Number 40 is now a private dwelling. The upstairs window has been remodelled, the second door removed, and the rainwater downpipe repositioned. The rest of the building and its neighbours are otherwise largely unchanged. (Photographer: Kevin Wilsher)
James Gray: The bottom of the south side of this road. This shows the gap where No. 142 used to stand. The break in the houses was obviously to provide access to the building now occupied by the Co-operative Dairy. jgc_27_055
2018: The buildings are still standing, though the shop has now closed. (Photographer: Simon Cooper)
