Another 1930s pub
Another pub by E. B. Musman. This is the Nag's Head, Bishop's Stortford. Rather more rectilinear than the Comet, but with nice curved projections at the sides (see next photo). Frontage disfigured by wheelchair access ramps and unsuitable lamps. The central entrance, where the little curved window is, gave access to the off sales counter ...the "outdoor beer licence", as my mother used to say. Do pubs still have these? This one is disused. Above the doorway is a sub-Jacob Epstein relief depicting the history of Bishop's Stortford. The interior is said to be substantially intact.
