Hello ,
Does anyone know if the Rising Sun pub in Larkhall Lane/ Courland Rd is still standing? Its a pub my grandparents used in the 1950's. Also, does anyone have any old photo's of Gaskell St SW4 before modernisation in 70's? please.
Regards
Alan Jones

Hello,
Does anyone live in the Stockwell area ? If so I wondered if they walk or drive past the corner of Larkhall Lane and Courland St. There used to be a pub on that corner, I would love to know if its still there or what has replaced it please.
Regards
Alan

Is the first site what you were after? Otherwise, I don't live a million miles from Stockwell. I will try to pop up there sometime for you, unless someone beats me to it.

Hello Meles,
Thanks , thats very good of you to offer. I have e-mailed one of links to ask a few questions. I used to sit outside in a car with pop and crisps as a child in the 50's and always remembered as a single storey building. I assumed , with the amount of war damage still visible at the time that the top had been 'blown off'. I notice now that part was single storey. My grandparnts lived in 49 Gaskell St but moved to Coventry about 1970. I guess a lot has changed since. The maternity hospital was at the bottom of grans garden !

Hello Again Meles,
I have just been browsing through those links and have just noticed that they are dated 2003 ! If you don't mind driving past at some stage I would be fascinated to know what happened.
