The Whitegate public house

Built in 1930s "road house" style, this large pub dominates the junction between Broadway and Hollinwood Avenue. Until the 1970s, a grass bowling green existed to the left of the row of trees in the picture. As is evident, it was removed to provide extra car parking. During the 1990s, the pub's owners had a motel block built with its frontage roughly where the trees are in the photo.
