The Lansdowne Inn (1), 19-20 Lansdowne Street, Worcester
Another of Worcester's declining number of back street public houses. It is located on the corner of White Ladies Walk and Lansdowne Street. When photographed in October 2012 it was open, but sadly it closed sometime around the middle of 2013. In February 2014 a planning application to turn it into two houses and a groundfloor flat had been submitted to the planning authority. This pub, as can be seen, was at one time a Hansons house. Julia Hanson & Sons Limited had its origins in a wine & spirit business which later went into brewing in Dudley. In 1943 the firm was taken over by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries Ltd but in the early 1990's the brewery closed and production was moved to Wolverhampton. There are not many pubs which still have Hansons signage and it looks as if there is now going to be one fewer. Image Image The closed pub photographed in August 2017:- Image

The Lansdowne Inn (2) - sign, 19-20 Lansdowne Street, Worcester
Looking distinctly home made, the sign is as basic as you can get. The public house takes its name from the street or maybe it was the other way around. Image Image

A view of the front of the pub which unfortunately had to be taken into the sun, but the shot is probably unrepeatable as the pub has now closed. Image Image

The former Lansdowne Inn, 19-20 Lansdowne Street, Worcester
Located on the corner of Lansdowne Street and White Ladies Walk, this former Julia Hanson public house closed a few years ago. All the signage has gone, although the bracket from which the pub sign hung still remains. The building is apparently now in residential use. The pub when open in October 2012:- Image

Shrubbery Avenue near its junction with Flag Meadow Walk, Worcester
A pleasant mainly Victorian residential road, much nearer the city centre than one might think. In the foreground is Flag Meadow Walk, which these days is a public road not a footpath. Just by the parked car, on the right, is a Victorian postbox, which can also be seen here:- Image
