Goodbye To The Ruskin Arms - East Ham, London!

The pub Iron Maiden used to play gigs in, during the late seventies (before they became famous), is closing forever!! I went down to East Ham, to have a few last beers in the Ruskin.

Ruskin Avenue

The next evening i got the tube back to East Ham for a final beer :-(

The bands played in the back room, but its only open when theres a band playing, so i could not take any photos of it.
Here i am finishing my last pint.

The Ruskin Arms

THE END

(or was it...)

A few months later, i went back to have a look and it was still open...

Sadly, the Ruskin closed shortly after this final visit...

Good News: The pub has reopened Click here to see some new photos!
