Just thought I’d share this photo of the then Victory pub, now Franklins, 157 Lordship Lane. I think it must have been taken in the mid to late 1950s as my late mother and father in law lived in the flat above for some years. My mother in laws uncle owned a car hire business to the back of the pub.

I agree about its being an off-licence -- no licensee's name above the front door, and confirmed as a long-standing one by  https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/Camberwell/LordshipLane157.shtml.

Attached is a Style& Wing ad from the Kentish Express of 1 May 1942, found in britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk.[removed.  Can't find a way of stopping it being displayed within post.]

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
