Does anyone remember the Southampton bar under Winthrop House (now redeveloped) next to Surbiton Station. As I remember, on the walls were murals by Rowland Emett, the cartoonist who designed the whimsical railway for the Festival of Britain in 1951 in Battersea Park. Are there any photos of these around please. I assume that the originals were destroyed. Look forward to comments, Roger Duke.
