F5 F1 F2 F3 F4 16 HOUSES FOUND index
WEST NORFOLK ? - 0015
Here a BULLARDS delivery is being made.

Most probably Norfolk ..........  BUT NO!

Two suggestions of being the Swan at South Wootton were given - but the chimney positions differ and the Swan was at this time a Bagges brewery house,
later Steward & Patteson.

It turns out to be the BUCK INN at UGGESHALL, SUFFOLK.
Located after a deciphering the name Ann Elizabeth Wright above the door
followed by some searching in the census returns by Bunny Linford-Hazell 

 

The WHITE HART
selling REIDS LONDON ALES & STOUTS

Peter Williams confirms Nov 2008
that this is at
Thaxted Road
Wimbish
 - and still looking much the same - and trading

 

 


How about some Cobbold ales at the KINGS ARMS?

Stratford St Mary is a very likely candidate ( Nigel Smith 11/07 )

Confirmed Feb 2009 by Stewart Marsh
` Seems it closed in 1994. '

 



The CROWN INN is to the right.
A chapel on the opposite of the road, just after the houses.

This turns out to be The Crown at Brompton on Swale, North Yorkshire

Thanks to Clive Torrens 27.02.09 for the identification.



The wonderful 
PALACE TAVERN
has licensee W Bridger
and has Whitbread Beers well advertised.

28.02.09 - Calyn Keohane identifies this as being at
Napier Road, Masons Hill, Bromley
MECHANICS ARMS

The MECHANICS ARMS
on the corner of ( Shernbourne Street and ) Barker Street

April 2009 - Bunny Linford-Hazell identifies the house as in
Manchester.

Sadly a much more modern building stands on the site, and not selling beer.



How about this fine Bullards house?
William Leach is licensee

April 2009 - Another find for Bunny...

The house was the LAMB at
Dedham
Essex

 

The RED LION in a tranquil village....
Brewers are Cambridge based Bailey & Tebbutt, 
the Panton Brewery

March 2008 - Grantchester has been suggested
but that Red Lion has many differences.......

April  2009 Peter Williams confirms that this is indeed Grantchester.
It seems the house had a major renovation / rebuild.

 


The FERRY BOAT INN
was in Ferry Boat Lane.....

 

May 2009 - Phil Child confirms this to be at
Tottenham Hale, London, N17 9NG


How about the WHITE HORSE.
Back of image is dated 1924

Peter Williams identifies the house to be at
Graffham. A Henty & Constable house.

The BULL INN
No other clues...

 

13/11/2009 - Nigel B ( Owner of the card ) advises that the house is in
Brentwood - recognised by a friend.

The SHIP INN
is selling
BENTLEYS YORKSHIRE BEERS
so that could narrow down the search.

Feb 2008 - Jason Sparkes suggests this could be at West Lane, Keighley - ( House closed 1969 and subsequently demolished) - Any confirmation?

December 2009 and Paul Horsfield confirms the
Keighley location..........
`definitely the Ship Inn, Keighley. The building in the left background is the old St Andrews school demolished approx 20 years ago, now Farfield House doctors. The doorway on the right is now a Kebab/Pizza place!!





The COACH & HORSES
selling IND COOPE ales ?

Nigel B proves this to be at 
Oxford Street, WHITSTABLE.

The Red Lion......

Andrew Swift identifies this house at
Broad Clyst in Devon



The OAK HOTEL & manager is James T Blanchflower.

 

Cathy ( familyhistoryfinders.co.uk ) advises 20/06/2010 :-

The Royal Oak Hotel was and still is in Chapel–en-le-Frith in Derbyshire. The photograph was taken before 1910, as James Thomas Blanchflower died that year. His wife Esther (nee Mills)  carried on as manageress of the hotel after his death.  James, although born in Surrey in 1861, was the son of James Blanchflower from Watton, Norfolk.

He joined the 16th Queens Lancers in 1885 and was discharged in 1890. After his discharge he became a valet to Herbert Dugdale, a captain in the same company who was from Derbyshire.  He then went on to become a cellarman  in Gerald Street, Derby, before moving to the Oak in Chapel-en-le Frith.

 

The BELL
has licensee James Vaughan
and is selling MANNINGS Noted ALES & STOUT.

Credible evidence uncovered by Bunny Linford-Hazell suggests that this scene was at LILBOURNE RUGBY, Northamptonshire.
However the Bell in that village looks totally different.
Did the house get rebuilt or drastically altered in the mid 1900's ?

LILBOURNE is confirmed by local historian Julian Chatwin 20.07.2010
The house had ceased trading by c2000 and is today a private dwelling.
( Looking much different from the above image )

 

Many thanks to all
