A rather neglected inn – Driffield.
The sign says ‘Plasma TV’ maybe they should have spent it on a coat of paint.

A coat of paint would be better – why go to the pub to watch TV?
I agree, it’s an odd thing they do here in UK. Although I have experienced it in one or two bars in Oman. Maybe the TV distracts from the beer not being very good.
Definitely a connection I have family in Bridlington lol
Just up the road; we were on our way there looking for a new house when we called into Driffield first. As you may have noticed, Driffield won.
Once again, I love the antiquated, almost dream-like, feel of this monochrome photo. As for the plasma TV, your comment reminded me of a few houses I saw in Belize. The buildings themselves appeared to be in poor shape, but they had very expensive-looking flatscreen TV’s inside them! I suppose when one lives in a warm climate like Belize, one can afford to ignore the odd hole in the wall.
Many thanks.
I know what you mean about dilapidated buildings. I remember taking my wife to what was a tin shack with cinder block walls on Masirah Island. Asked her if she thought the occupants were poor and the answer was “yes, definitely” then I took her around the back. A brand new Range Rover !!
Haha! I suppose one must choose what to spend their money on.
Interesting image and the mention about ‘Plasma TV’ shows how quickly things get out dated, right?
You could really give it a heritage look with the post processing touches 🙂
Thank you for sharing, David 🙂
Thanks – I know it’s an old building but haven’t found a date yet. Never been in so not sure they still have the TV’s going (they were very! expensive if I recall) hence the paint comment.
Slowly exploring backstreets which are full of history from the early 1800’s.
So good to hear more on the story behind 🙂
Happy to wait and follow your posts …
