During our recent sojourn to the south west of England, Cornwall to be exact, we had to go to Penzance to take a picture of a pub called the Admiral Benbow. My grandad had taken a picture of the pub in the early 1970’s and we wanted to see if it had changed much, if at all. The evidence is here that it has changed little externally.
And this is the same view about three weeks ago.
Beyond a spruce up and some additional signage it looks remarkably similar after 50 years or so.
Sometimes things don’t change and this can be good. The pub was apparently a haunt for local smugglers looking to make a pretty penny and avoid the Customs men prowling the beach and alleys looking for ill-gotten gains. I hope the people who go there today enjoy it.
