It was over 50 years ago that we acquired this poster from the off-licence on Well Hall Road.
At the end of the summer when we left home for Manchester it came with us, was blocked mounted and has followed me from homes across Manchester and beyond.
And since l washed up in Chorlton in 1976 it has graced the walls of five different rooms.
Looking at it now it can be criticised for some of its underlying assumptions, but it remains special.
Location; Well Hall in Eltham, Manchester, Ashton and Chorlton
Picture; Whitbread Tankard poster, circa 1972
I seem to recall the beer wasn't very good, it was difficult to find real ale in the late 70s.
