The pub sign to the now closed up Butts Retreat Public House.
A proper pub sign. Featuring gentlemen of an era gone by perhaps having a crafty pint.

Attack of the cones
Astonishing as it may seem, traffic can still pass through the maze of cones in the Butts. The route westward along the Butts, Spon End and Allesley Old Road from the city centre is undergoing widening works related to air quality improvement, the aim being to relieve the pressure of traffic on Holyhead Road which has been causing a drop in air quality in the area.
The building displaying the name 'The Hamptons' was formerly a pub known variously as The Summerland Tavern, The Fob Watch, Summerlands and The Butts Retreat and, since 2017, The Hamptons but seems to have been boarded up for a while.

In October 1981, this public house had only recently become the Fob Watch, having been the Summerland Tavern up to 1981 (the Butts used to be the Summerland Butts). Some years later it became the Summerland and in 1999, the Butts Retreat ( Image ) - a name it still holds although closed and boarded up at the time of posting this photo.
In the background, left, is Spon Gate House flats, constructed in the early 1960s.
