If you scroll down, you’ll see snaps of denizens of The Hope, a pub on Rye Lane. At least it was a pub. About a week ago, I visited because I’d promised to give the landlady copies of the photos I’d taken. But, instead of a pub I found a building site. The entire innards of the pub -- bar one light fixture -- gone. The walls plastered an eviscerated grey colour. The building’s new incarnation will be as a Paddy Power betting shop. Never again will people romp in there dressed in sailor suits and French maid’s outfits, and it’s a sorrier day for that.
