looks like the area was re-developed fairly soon after that (they aren't in the 1911 directory) with the current places (were they called maisonettes then? - the double front doors and numbering makes it clear they were built like that not converted from houses)

Have you got date for the pub closure?
There's a Buzz article waiting for you if you fancy digging a bit deeper into the pub's history!
Begads... It would have to be a fair bit cheaper than the train to make that journey time seem worth it!

I think the site of the pub is the pair of maisonettes (now 387-393 New Park Road?) with bay windows that I think were constructed slightly later after WW1 alongside Tremaine Court. IIRC up to the 1990s, they used to have similar replacement windows to the taller block, suggesting they once had a common landlord?

Hi, yes this and quite a few other local stations feature in a file I was checking out at the National Archives in Kew last week. This is immediate aftermath of bomb damage at the bridge in Hinton Road caused on 10/11 May 1941.Just saw this on twitter posted by Blitzwalker. It's taken from Hinton Road facing Loughborough Junction. I don't know the background to the damage but can guess from the twitter handle.
