The Bricklayers Arms was situated at 76 Lower Mortlake Road. This pub closed c1985 and was demolished c1990. A Watneys house at the time of the above photo.
I lived in the adjacent road to the pub (Avalon Terrace) which consisted of Nos 9 to 13 two up/two down terraced houses, with Nos 1 – 8 being a bomb site! My father spent a lot of time in the public bar and my mother was taken to the saloon at weekends. I worked in the pub ( c 1961)to supplement my apprentice meagre wages most nights. The pub had 5 bars, public bar, pigeon club/meeting room with serving hatch, a private snug/off-licence bar, a saloon bar, and a lounge bar for weekend parties/music again with a serving hatch, all served from a horseshoe shaped serving area. During week days I would serve all bars on my own, having to remember the different prices in each bar! I remember the landlady was an expert with stocks and shares!Happy days!

Name Dates Comments David Campbell 1972/1976 Very occasional visitor usually after getting off bus from Ham, think from memory buses terminated behind the pub.Think my Dad and neighbours may have visited the pub in 1950s, as we lived very nearby in Avalon Terrace, like Dick Edwards who shared his memories of this pub in November 2020.
