A slightly odd one, this: we came across an old brochure advertising MG Magnette saloon cars dating from around 1956 featuring the following two wonderfully of-their-time images.
This is the brochure’s centrefold; the pub is the Barley Mow at Clifton Hampden, not far from Oxford.
Anyone recognise this pub with a ‘Smokeroom Bar’? It’s probably in Oxford, we reckon. UPDATE: @guidomax on Twitter says this is the Crown & Thistle, Abingdon.

One reply on “PICTURES: Driving to the Pub, 1956”
Driving to the Smokeroom Bar! I could weep. (I’d be sat out front with the nurses(?), admittedly.)
