This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1975, features The Devil’s Elbow public house located near Princetown on Dartmoor, Devon. The archival image documents the roadside inn during its years of operation, prominently displaying its unique hanging sign which depicts a mischievous figure overlooking a winding road. The cream-painted building features traditional dark shutters, several chimney stacks, and a red decorative plaque featuring a golden cockerel. A white period car is parked alongside the building, and the narrow road stretches into the distance toward a cluster of grey stone houses under a clear blue sky. While the pub has since closed and transitioned into use as a private residence, this factual record preserves its mid-1970s appearance as a well-known stop for travellers on the moor. This photograph captures the quiet, rural character of the Dartmoor landscape and the traditional architecture of Devonshire inns during 1975.
