There will be someone who will have stories of the Railway on Avenue Street.
Andy tells me it has closed, which means it has been lost to us only recently, because only last year various pub guides announced its continuing presence.
It is a pub I have never visited but I liked his picture of the lamp advertising Porter Ales.
Once and not that long ago such lamps were standard adornments to pubs, lighting the way in the semi darkness to a place of beer and good cheer.
But like those similar blue lamps outside police stations and the stripy poles advertising a barber’s shop, pub lamps have had their day.
So that is it.
