Snob screen
A snob screen is a device found in some British public houses of the Victorian era. Usually installed in sets, they comprise an etched glass pane in a movable wooden frame and were intended to allow middle class drinkers to see working class drinkers in an adjacent bar, but not to be seen by them,[1] and to be undisturbed by the bar staff.[2]
Pubs with surviving snob screens include:
- The Bartons Arms, Birmingham[1]
- Bunch of Grapes, London SW3[3]
- The Crown and Greyhound, Dulwich Village London (the screens have been re-sited)[4]
- The Gate, London N22[5]
- The Lamb, Bloomsbury, London[2]
- Posada, Wolverhampton[6]
- Prince Alfred, Maida Vale, London[1]
- Princess Louise, Holborn, London.[1]
- Crown, London N1[7]
- Travellers Friend, Woodford Green, Greater London[8]
- Nova Scotia, Bristol[9][10]
