More about this scene

Does the Morris Minor belong to the landlord? This pub was owned by Brickwood, the Portsmouth brewery. They brewed Sunshine IPA, Pompey XXXXX Dark Ale, and Admiral Stout. In the 1960s their advertisements often showed a jovial man holding a pint and a caption reading 'Drop in for a while at the pub with a smile'.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My Father held a senior position at Brickwoods Brewery in Portsmouth from the late 1940's until the mid 1970's. He and his colleague would stop off at The White Hart for a "quickie" on the way home from work on a Friday.If I was good they would bring me a lemonade before the onward journey home to Denmead. Ahh. Happy days. I now drink something stronger !
