It's deceptive MR. The bulb of the pipe in the second photo merges with a chimney in the background. Colourization of black and white photos was also very iffy and open to contradiction. The clock goes from black to brown!

Thanks Bohica. I think I must have skipped to bed after I posted and should have explained to Philip. A little before his time I expect. In my later days we used to frequent the cafe for a Vienna steak and chips and a cuppa from the big man's giant metal teapot. Happy Days Thumbs up

Wearethemods, you are a gem, thank you for reminding me. I remember they closed upstairs off after a time as it was declared unsafe. How on earth did I forget the cafe name???? Thumbs up
