Closed down pubs are always a sad sight. This one was in Isleworth, west London.

Great image of past and present..From the road name sign up to the chimney,still immaculate like a 50's postcard..then below that its just so present times.... :(
Its very sad!...very clever shot and well though out.
Guest 24-Apr-2005 21:40
wow this is an old pub. i can see why you decided to go monochrome, it has a old feel to it. :)
btw image is still tilted to the left (just a smig). :)

B&W always seems to enhance the dereliction somehow. Sad end to what must at one time been a thriving pub.
Susanne24-Apr-2005 21:20
Wonderful tones. Very nice subject. I love this very much.

Pubs should never close, the worse the economy, the better the pubs should do, right?
Guest 24-Apr-2005 21:17
Aww, poor pub!
The b&w is great on this!

We can always pop 'round the corner for a pint, I'm sure.....
Guest 24-Apr-2005 20:55
nice shot. took a litle while but I just spotted the FU connection
Antonis Sarantos24-Apr-2005 20:55
Excellent shot Ray and I think that old looking b&w adds a lot to the image!
