3min #movietone clip - Plastic Pubs! 1969
text from youtube "In the days before plastic was the root of all evil, you could have a whole pub made from it!
'Opening Time' on Export Enterprise! An East London firm has developed a new moulding technique to reproduce old timber, brick and stone - ever pewter plates and mugs - in Plastic. There's a big demand, overseas as well as at home, for an Olde Worlde atmosphere, and the company can supply complete pub interiors - from Tudor beams and inglenook fireplaces to wall panelling and bar furniture - all in glass reinforced polyester. Particularly in America, with its yearning for the past, the demand is fantastic while they recently supplied a complete pub to Canada at only three months notice.
