Abandoned Boozers of Norwich #7: The Walnut Tree Shades

As with The Woolpack (see #5), The Walnut Tree Shades is currently 'Closed Until Further Notice,' and its decent physical condition will hopefully allow for a swifty reopening. Tucked into a city centre sidestreet, only a few seconds away from my workplace, it also doubled as an American restaurant on the first floor. I only ever drank here a couple of times, despite its close proximity. It can boast one of the best signs in the city (the great, New York-in-the-'40s style one on the outside wall), and one of the most hideous (the walnut wearing, um, shades).
