The Spoons pub has been renovated too. Much nicer than it was.

I used to live near the Elephant and Castle at Queens Buildings near Borough back in the 60s it’s a Big change from them days but the down side of all this the locals are being REPLACED and once there gone the place is not the same.the culture and the way of life is gone I remember the Jelled ell man coming around and the coal man thous were very fond memories our country is changing fast and I don’t think is for the better I know things don’t stay the same for ever but we are being OVER RUN by other CULTURES and RELIGIONS and are TAKING OVER our COUNTRY and our traditions and way of life as we know it are being destroyed and nobody CARES.
