Snooker
Salisbury Club, Apts 1-4 Aylmer Road, Established 1881.

This unusual and rather pleasing sign must surely be a recent creation.  We think the panels around the edge may be rescued from a vintage stained glass window, but the rest is new.

Site: Salisbury Snooker Club (1 memorial)

E11, Aylmer Road

There are two pieces of stained glass on this elevation: the one we have photographed (to the immediate left of the telegraph pole in the site photograph) and another, with similar text but a different design, further to the left.

Between these two colourful signs there is a white one, above the grey oblong, which reads: "Carlton House and Salisbury Club Apartments 13 and 14 Aylmer Road".

Savills have virtual tours of the four flats that they have managed to squeeze into this small building.

This building is in what was originally the rear garden of what is now 694a High Road E11, the house to the left of our photo, with the blue plaque.
