Old Picture

[Retlaw]

Some 25 years ago, I saw this picture in a book some where, I drew this copy of it using my drawing instruments and venier calipers. Now I can't remember where I saw the original picture. I know where the street is. Does any one recognise the picture.

It looks like the pub that was across the road from the garage at the bottom of Manchester Road.
