I see a window ad for Spaten Münich Lager with its still-used spade logo. Strange that German beer was so prominently advertised during the war.

Photographer is Searle Bros of 19 Brompton Rd.

Interesting point about the german beer. I thought they put the windows in if anything sounded german. Perhaps beer surmounts all?

Yes, the mix of square and curved panels match, as do the white pillars. The street lamps are the same and the word 'Spirits' is also just visible.

 

And if you blow the picture up, you can just about see the Bass advert panel on the wall.

Absolutely.

Very unpatriotic.

They  should have been forced to advertise (and drink) Wrexham Pilsener Lager, est.1881.

You can also see the pub name, "The Horns" above the Bass panel.
