Flying Scud


 
The Flying Scud was situated at 137 Hackney Green Road. Now demolished (see photo of site below).
 
This was a Truman’s Brewery pub, present by 1872.  In the 1980s and early 1990s it was known for live heavy metal music, alternating with strippers.  The pub closed in July 1994 and stood looking picturesquely derelict for 15 years until it was demolished in 2009.  One piece of graffiti on the closed pub read “This is Not a Local”, in Banksy-esque style.
