Jan. 01, 1959 - London's first Serve-Yourself Public house.: The first self-service public house installation has been introduced at the Elephant and Castle Public House, Kensington - London. The Pu is run by ex Cavalry man Charles Farrow and he has fixed up three pumps in the lounge bar on the customers side and beer drinkers can pull-their-own-pints. Charles says that the idea is profitable as beer consumption has gone up 50 p.c. because of it. The customer pays for the beer and receives a glass and then help themselves. Photo shows Charles Faerow at the cash-register as a woman customer helps herself to a pint at the public house this morning
