People of Stanley, County Durham - can you help?
I’m working on a series of drawings of Stanley pubs of the 1980s and I’m looking for some reference photos of pub exteriors of establishments like the Blue Boar, the Blue Bell, the Hunt/Riders, Sam’s Bar, the Harperley Hotel, the Royal, the Hill Top (especially when it was the Topper) and any others you think of.
You can either share them here or message me directly.
Remember - it’s only the exterior I need, not the inside of the pub.
Thanks in anticipation,
Joanna 😊
