HOLDING ON TO THE PAST by sangwann

HOLDING ON TO THE PAST

Saturday morning of our Gozo weekend was spent lazying around the main city, Rabat, with the ladies making the round of the usual shops. At one time this old bar-front attracted my attention. I had seen this hundreds of times before because where it is located it cannot be missed as it close to a very busy roundabout. I never ventured to take a shot of it before this time.
Malta has been independent from Britain since 1964 and a Republic since 1974, but the owners of this bar seem to still cherish the name, or else it serves to attract British tourists who visit the island.
Tomorrow: Jeff and Nick

Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday’s picture.

Cool processing - makes it look as if it's definitely in a little time warp all of its own.

The Glory of England Bar with the iconic American drink

Great shot! I suspect it's for the tourists - there's usually an English pub somewhere (and an Aussie one too!)
