Peter Reeve provided this photo of the Barge Aground, which his father used to run in the 1940s through to 1952. The photo shows a newsagents with an advert for Marcella cigars in the window: this shop was bombed out in WW2.

Beyond the pub a carriers operated: this was Carter Paterson & Co Ltd from around 1890 to the 1930s, although the P & Co sign suggests a different name.

Peter has also sent a postwar photo of the Barge Aground and some war time memories.
