This is so interesting. It just blows my mind on how places can change in a small amount of time.

Threlfalls was not the name of the pub, it was the brewery. The pub was the Greyhound. The Trelfalls sign was on the side wall of Birtwells sweetshop (later Schofields). It was there for years.

I can see a pub named after my sir name ' threlfall'. An unccomon name now, but was poular in those days, expecially in the NW region.

Do you have the original cine reels for this? I'd be happy to do a higher-quality transfer for you.
