Back in the 70s we had a Scalextric club in Ruislip and we sometimes called in there for a tipple after a race meeting. There was a plaque on the wall that proclaimed it as a watering hole which brought about the name change from The Drifters :-D

Victorian Glory Star in the corner of a panelled door. Took a photo of it because it reminded me of Lyndhurst West Parade Leadgate although they appear in Victorian inner hallway doors everywhere in blue/cobalt/red.

Would be nice if a bit familiarity phenonemon could be induced for some other random spottings of Victorian Glory Stars from the FCF membership!
