• History

This excellent photograph, left, was taken outside The Hunters Arms in Church Street, Kilburn, around the 1950s when cows were apparently still driven through the streets to the milking sheds.

The pub appears to have changed little externally, apart from acquiring a new sign and lamps. An indication of the times is the direction to the car park at the rear and the promise of good food.

There is also a bus stop. Did that exist before? Unless it is hiding behind a corner, the old stone cottage next to the pub seems to have disappeared. Do you know who lived there?

The whole 1950s scene, including the lovely old cars, captures the feeling of a more relaxed, less frenetic era.
