To Nottinghamians an off-licence is a beer-off. On this one the Home Brewery style of the 1960s, with Robin Hood silhouette on a barrel-shaped background, rather remarkably survives intact. The earlier style, on pubs and off-licences http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1513926 , simply featured the words Home Ales, in green or black on a cream background. Sometimes the brewery's Apollo mineral waters ("pop") were also advertised - see the off-licence on Park Lane nearby: Image
