The Earl of Zetland was a pub located in Princedale Road in Notting Dale.
Derelict for a while, it was converted into an office and a flat.
Some scenes of the 1966 film ’Blow Up’ by Michelangelo Antonioni were filmed nearby.

The site of Gun Yard (1912)
Gun Yard disappeared at the time of the First World War. This north-facing view of Norton Folgate shows the widening at this point which demolished Gun Yard - it would have been on the left here.
