[john doran]

Boycott

This was part of a wider economic boycott 1930's
There was a specific part targeted at the selling of British beer and ale
Bass Brewery in particular came in for close attention its advertisements were forcibly removed from outside pubs

The scene in the photo above took place outside O'Hara's pub in Chancery Street...this later became Hughes pub
