The history BlogSpot is interesting but is wrong about the dates for Lings. It was still there in the 1990's so I might believe 1929 - 1997 (we used to live next to it until mid 1997 and it was still working then).
Also I seem to recall that the Swiss chalet look a like pub was still there into the mid 80's when we moved to FH but my memory could be at fault here......however the flats on the site do look more 1980's than 1970's.
