The annual Beer Festival was in progress, a popular event with music provided by various live bands for the 3 days of the Festival. Henshaw Lane is on the left, in the bottom left corner is the junction with Ivegate.
Before the Tarn was built the site was occupied by another public house, the Commercial which was demolished in 1962 and replaced by the Tarn.
