Now I am a great fan of the work of Mr Llwyd Roberts.
He was during the 1930s our artist in residence and during that time produced a heap of line drawings of Eltham and the surrounding area.
Some were reproduced from old photographs while others were as he saw them at the time.
This is the old Rising Sun which according to Mr Roberts "this old building stood for two centuries on the site now occupied by the L.E.B. showrooms. When it was demolished the Rising Sun rose again to the east, on its present site."

Do we know why it was demolished? Also, does the Rising Sun only date to the 30s?
