The Heroes
This is the original Heroes pub (double-fronted building on left of photo), named after the soldiers returning from the battle of Waterloo who set up camp at Waterloo having marched from Portsmouth docks on their way to London. It was near the junction with Hambledon Road and this photo is looking north. When the pub was knocked down, its replacement was build about 300 yards further north. Must have been round about 1960?

As in "End of an Era" this is not the Heroes. The building on the left is the Wellington and the gap between is Chapel Lane

RE: RE: The Heroes
I think you will find that the main building in the picture is the Queens Hotel and the building on the left of the picture is the Wellington
