Re: TUSTIN STREET.
I think this is looking towards the Old Kent Road, if so the Elephant & Castle Pub would have been at the far end on the left.
Re: TUSTIN STREET.
It's not Tustin Street, it's Ormside Street. The Regal can be seen on the other side of Old Kent Road. The tall building is The Rising Sun.kiwi wrote:I think this is looking towards the Old Kent Road, if so the Elephant & Castle Pub would have been at the far end on the left.
