Steve Hamilton… Thanks for posting. My grandmother lived next door on the other side of the steps. I notice her window is open – must be a special occasion – about 20 years later I would be hanging outside the window watching the punks at the weekend!
Malcolm McDonald… I lived in The Royal Standard as a kid.
Roger Simmonds… I remember when it wasn’t a pub just an old building empty at the time in the 1950 time period
