In the two photos of the Good Intent, Wedmore Street at the corner of Eaton
Grove. The first is from 1972 and shows the pub shortly before it and the
surrounding streets were demolished to create the Whittington Park as part
of Patrick Abercrombie's Greater London Plan, to create more green spaces in
urban areas.
The pub was rebuilt on the same site and the second photo shows it in 2013,
surrounded by the park, shortly before it was finally closed. It had been
renamed the Smokehouse in the 1980s but reverted to its original name by the mid
1990s, It was known to locals as the GI. A block of six houses has now been
built on the site. *+
