Drinking in the Denniston Hotel, 1945

Four men and a dog in the Denniston Hotel on the West Coast. The original caption read, 'Some find their recreation in the pubs where beer is the staple drink'.

The old Red Dog pub next to the fire station. The name was revived by a Westport Bar a few years ago.
