One of Alan Roulstone's best-ever drawings is a 1960 exterior view of the Three Crowns Hotel at Chagford, Devon (it was accompanied by two very good interior views). The subject is of course splendid, and full justice has been done to it. Not content with this, however, the artist has given painstaking attention to a tree in the foreground which constitutes a study in its own right. This again was typical of Roulstone.

Again dating from 1960, and like others conveying one back to an era now long vanished, is a first-rate interior view of the Anchor Inn at Bettws-y-Crwyn, Shropshire. The drawing featured in the first of a series of eleven books under the title Twenty One For the Road (1964) - a title the breathalyzer would soon rule out.

An example of Roulstone at his best (as he invariably was with really good subjects) is a 1960 view of the Bicknoller Inn at Bicknoller, Somerset. A picture-postcard pub, the artist has captured it most gratifyingly; but note the special attention paid to garden furniture in the foreground, which would betray the artist's identity even if there was no signature.
