HISTORICAL PUBS of the PAST . . .
These photos of 150 Scottish & Newcastle Inns (from the late 70s/early 80s) have already been shown on the
Newcastle Pubs thread, but I know that many people who visit THIS thread on
Historic Newcastle do not necessarily ever visit the Pubs one!
So, I though they could be repeated on here, for those who have not seen them before.
In short, in the 1970s and 1980s Scottish & Newcastle Inns used to fix labels, showing photos of all their pubs, to each and every "box of matches" that they sold in their pubs.
Does anyone remember them?
A friend of mine was an 'Area Manager' (or something!) for S&N in those days, and he (knowing of my habit for collecting such things on Newcastle) gave me this full "proof set" of all 150 pub matchbox labels!
I am sure they are quite rare, so here is a
trip down memory lane, followed by a few bits of
Newcastle Brown Ale memorabilia, also . . .
