I have just been informed that this pub is about to close. Is it true?

Still going strong. If it was to close that would mean no Public House in Elmers End. (Not counting La Fleur which used to be Sweeny's)

What? No pub in Elmers End? I'm a long way out of date, so what happened to the Rising Sun?

P.S. to my last. Sorry, I missed another point. Last time I saw the pub in about 1959 it was called the William IV. That is the last King to be called William; unless I've missed something we haven't even had a William V yet, let alone a VI

Where was The Rising Sun then Historian??? Time seems to be playing tricks with the old memory here, as I too thought it was Elmers End.  |

Of course, time certainly does fade the old memory! I should have known as I used to work at Cooter & Green's garage just up the road at Eden Park.  Where was The Rising Sun then Historian???

Im joining in this conversation as I used to live in Ernest Grove, Eden Park. The Rising Sun was in the Upeer Elmers End Road. There is parade of shops there as well I used to have a paper round Showells was the name of the shop. The only pub that I can recall in Elmers End was the Elmer Lodge in Dunbar Avenue, it became a pub after being refurbed in the mid sixties.

I know this thread is almost a year old but as a regular at The Rising Sun I have recently discovered that this pub too is under threat. There is a real possibility that it could be demolished/refurbished as a block of flats. I will be keeping a close watch on the situation, a petition has been organised and the result of this remains to be seen, but we are not going to give up without a fight!!
