This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1973, features the exterior of The Squire public house (now known as The Squire Inn) located at 67 Broad Street in the historic market town of Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire. The archival image documents the building’s rich architectural history, which dates back to the 17th century when it was originally constructed as a house before being remodelled into a pub during the 18th century. The facade is characterized by traditional Cotswold stone masonry and white-trimmed windows, reflecting the town’s medieval grid-pattern layout. A prominent hanging sign for “The Squire” is visible, along with traditional brewery branding from the early 1970s. The wide, bustling Broad Street in the foreground serves as a parking area for several period vehicles, including a yellow Vauxhall Victor and a white Ford Capri, capturing the daily life and transport of 1973. While the establishment underwent a significant relaunch as the Sodbury Steakhouse in more recent years, this factual record preserves its appearance as a classic Gloucestershire coaching inn during the mid-20th century.
