The former Doctor Johnson pub

The Doctor Johnson pub on Longwood Gardens has been closed for several years now with no sign of any development taking place.  Interestingly, this morning while I was taking some shots, another guy was taking photos of the pub on his phone.  I wonder if we will see some future for this 'eyesore' of an unloved and somewhat derelict building........

Here is part of the entry for the pub on the CAMRA website:

"One of the best examples anywhere to show how a typical, large, 

1930s housing estate pub might have looked. It is in the popular, 

loosely neo-Georgian style combined with 1930s Art Deco 

streamlining – whence with broad curve which turns the corner 

from one elevation to the other. The Doctor Johnson opened in 

1938 and was designed by the architect H. Reginald Ross for 

Courage."
