And Wadworths's Berkeley Arms at the far right of the photograph.

I think that the black and white timbered building that you are referring to is actually the record shop which is next door but one to the Berkeley Arms.

Phew, another thread saved from being derailed into pub talk

Sorry, yes.
Those old black and white buildings all look the same from a distance.

Black & white is pretty much Victorian, once they had got plaster without impurities that was white and creosote to protect the wood and turn it black. Before that the plaster was something like buff coloured and if the wood was oak then that was silvery grey. If you look at picture in medieval manuscripts then you might see depicted red walls and blue woodwork. Good imaginations those medieval scribes.
