Perfect camouflage? - a photo on Flickriver

            Hiding in plain sight, this nondescript old building was once The Cheshire Cheese, a Victorian public house on Edensor Road on the outskirts of Longton in the Potteries.
The oldest record of this pub appears to date back to 1841 when Edensor Road was named City Road and like many other areas of Longton this old licensed premises was only about thirty or forty yards away from the Three Tuns on the corner of Greendock Street.
This old pub seems to have ceased trading in the mid twentieth century.
I have seen information recollecting that it was subdivided into flats towards the end of the twentieth century.
It is currently occupied by an engineering firm called Venturi  Jet Pumps Ltd.
The building to the right was occupied by D & E Mowers during the early part of this century.
There are quite nice moulded details to the windows on the side elevation which belie the rather shabby appearance that the old pub has undertaken.
