I beg to differ re location of the Swan and Pyramids! It was located between Highwood Avenue and Woodside Grove. and not Woodside Grove and Woodside Lane. ! I lived in Highwood Avenue and played leapfrog over those concrete posts when I was young. Went to St.Johns Infant and Junior School in Britannia Road (opposite the pub). Fraser and Glass were between Woodside Grove and Woodside Lane.

I remember watching a FA Cup Final with my father, in the landlords lounge upstairs from the Bars. I should imagine this was 1955.
I also attended St Johns Primary School on Britannia Rd.
If I remember correctly there was also Westminster Wine facility
next door to the Swan. And Henlys car showroom opposite.
