The Royal Oak Scopwick Around 1900(Click image to enlarge)
Thanks to reader David Butler for sending me this nostalgic photograph of the Royal Oak pub at Scopwick. My grandparents lived in the corner house directly opposite the pub and we used to visit them almost every Sunday afternoon. That was during the late 1940's and early 1950's and the pub by that time looked much the same as it does today. The landlord in those days was a chap called Frank Rainey, who I believe kept the Royal Oak for many years.
