For a 1968 closure it's in decent nick, getting to the post is very awkard as there's no pavement on the road so it basically involves parking a fair bit down and walking up abit on the a road.

looks far more like one of the 1991 closures so i was very surprised its a 1968, odd thing is that newspaper is from 1973.

Double Diamond Burton Pale Ale is an English pale ale, first brewed in 1876 by Samuel Allsopp & Sons. It was one of the highest selling beers in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Yes I'm old

If I'm remembering right.......cos we're talking the best of 50 years ago here, wasn't it originally called Red Barrel......then they changed the name to Red and it started to taste like piss?

You guys back there should see if you can get some of this stuff.....Felinfoel Double Dragon. I don't hold out much hope of finding it here!
