Hello,

Was wondering if anybody could help me try and track down the location of this photograph.

A trying to find out what the name of this pub is. believed to be somewhere in Kent or South East London.

Good evening,

That looks like the Richard Cobden, Cobden road, Worthing. But not 100% sure so just going to google maps for a look.

Don't know why it's given a satellite view when I was looking at the pub itself. but, just click on map view and drop the leprechaun on the junction of Cobden and Clifton rds.

Nice try, but a lot of the detail is different, eg the arrangement of doors and windows, and the shaped stonework above the corner door.

Shaun - are you able to get a higher resolution scan of this, please? There's possibly a signboard above the door in the building just beyond the pub, and a high-res close-up of that might be helpful.

Apparently there's an album of photos of Rock Brewery pubs at East Sussex Record Office:

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/3aea0d90-169d-4c0c-875f-998a1e2c12cc

TNA's Discovery catalogue also lists a lot of other Rock Brewery items at ESRO, all under the reference ACC8396. (These include some other photo albums.)

There are some photos on the Brewery History site I mentioned earlier.
But nothing that comes close! And, only 7 Rock Brewery pubs.

It's not my photo so I don't have any more high res I'm afraid.

Thanks for the help anyways

Shaun

Suggestion made at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=820004.msg6924400#msg6924400 that it's similar to 'The Heart and Hand' in Brighton.
