depaor01 Posted 15 April , 2020 Share Posted 15 April , 2020 (edited) 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. Dave Edited 15 April , 2020 by depaor01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackingbloke Posted 16 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 16 April , 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
