A number of images of the Green Man P.H, (now the Coastguard Pub) following the end of WW2, from the Gordon Denoon album.
The first image taken in 1945 shows the pub in ruins, war damaged after ‘Battle School’ training.
The derelict pub was demolished around 1952 and the present building erected on the same site. The second image is a postcard showing a rebuilt Green Man thought to have been taken in the late 1950s as were the two subsequent images (both postcards).
The last two images are photographs taken by Gordon Denoon in the summer of 1969 and collectively titled in the album ‘The Bay’s new centre of social activity’.
Gordon records in his ‘Saga of St Margaret’s’ :- ‘The Green Man, with its history and legends of smuggling, had been intimately associated with St Margaret’s since the 18th century (probably earlier) and it was with a feeling of dismay we learned in 1972 that the name had been changed (without any previous notice) to The Coastguard’.
