More about this scene
This splendid interior captures the atmosphere of a 1950s pub beautifully. The shirt-sleeved landlord, his hair slicked with Brylcreem, has his sleeves rolled up and a tie at his neck. The G- Plan style floral fabric-cushioned chairs, the odd stools, the horse brasses and the vertical timber boarded bar front are a wonderful evocation. Note the advertisement for 'Hot Bangers' above the bar: remember that fifty years ago, pub and food were words that did not go together, so this was an enterprising landlord.
