George Adams Green, photographer, Publican, Clock Tavern, 94 Alma St, 1833>09

[Forgreenies]

Hi,

See attached obituary for my relative GAG. He was a photographer with a studio in New Street where Hudson's Bookstore was situated. Also I understand he had a pub on St Phillips Square by the cathedral before building the Clock Tavern in Alma St. Did the name of the pub change to one of the others mentioned on this site?
Any info would be most welcome, thx

Can’t find any mention of a Clock Tavern in Alma Street. The Alma Tavern and the Vine (No64) existed in the 1860s, and also the Salutation where Herbert Walter Green was the main man.

In 1890 at 94 Alma Street was Mrs Ann Hope, Beer Retailer, at the corner with Inkerman Street.

In 1878 there was a photographer at 94 advertising enlargements.

Just to indicate where 94 Alma Street is mentioned, quote from the Salutation/Alma Tavern Thread...

...My relative built the Clock Tavern at 94 Alma Street and was landlord I believe for a number of years. I think prior to that he had a pub somewhere on St Phillips Sq by the cathedral. He was also a photographer, GA Green with a studio where the old Hudsons bookshop was, now by the Apple Store in New St.

Sorry I should have made it clearer, I put No64 in brackets meaning the Vine was at 64.

The position of 94 Alma St is shown in red on the map c1889 below. I will endeavour to find more information.

Mike has marked the correct building according to later mapping. No.94 is named the Clock Tavern in the census of 1881, the next entry being the Dew Drop Inn on the other side of Inkerman Street. The obituary makes very interesting reading. I wonder what happened to his archive of negatives etc. Now that would be something to behold.

This suggests that 94 was on the corner with Inkerman St ?? If you agree, I will search images of Inkerman St

Inkerman Street is mention on a much later advert in association with No94. As corner of Alma Street and Inkerman Street

when searching for images of inkerman st i believe there were 2 streets of this name...the one you want is the one in aston...there was also another one over duddeston way

I have an image of the building next door on the corner of Inkerman Street but unfortunately it does not show the Clock Tavern next door. Here is a trade directory showing this part of Alma Street in 1873.

Forgreenies has agreed that the announcement can be shown. RIP.

i have a photo of the dew drop stores corner of inkerman and alma st but thats no good ..looking at the position of where no 94 was i dont really think its worth while looking for pics of inkerman st ..better off looking for pics of alma st or even a long shot of clifford st because if you look at the map clifford st is in alignment with no 94 alma street...think i have that right
