All wall fittings, all non permanant furniture. Looks very bleak in there. Looks very much like the death throes of a once great pub.Fingers crossed it's only a temp, but I felt it might well be the end! What? Even the SuperQuick Albion cardboard model's gone!!!???

There has been one in Halifax for a few years.It's routinely ignored outside the magistrates court as the defendants enjoy a four pack of Stella / Tennants Super before going in, but can be rigourously enforced outside pubs on a Friday evening.

This law has been in force in Scarborough for over twelve years.When i was a rep i used to call at Boyes Store there was a sign outside the store on a lamp post stating it was against the law to consume alcohol on the street.

The Old Vic at Bramley's closed, but I have heard local gossip say that it will re-open. When? No one knows as the interior has been stripped. Like so many sudden closure pubs

It certainly is pointing away from the pub, and what an interesting, picturesque view it is!This is the Leodis picture. Apparently, it shows a damaged sewer, caused by a burst water main, and was taken in September 1906, facing in the direction of Great Wilson Street. I'm afraid I can't find any of the pub itself. Where was the Clarendon exactly, Stutterdog? On an old map, a pub is shown at the end of Water Lane at the junction of Neville Street/Victoria Road/Great Wilson Street. Is that it?
