Hi, I've only just joined this forum and I'm pretty sure that my grandfather owns the original, if not then a copy of the photo of this pub - because GH Ravenhall was my 2 x Gt Grandfather as well. I can confirm that it looks iffy because it's a photo of a photo!
I've been trying to work out when it was bombed in WW2, it's not listed in Kelly's directory of 1943 - but I can see from a comment above that Kelly's only listed fully licensed premises so I probably wouldn't find it there anyway... Where would I find the beer retailers list for the 1940's? He was no longer landlord then, but would like to know when the poor building was bombed... Perhaps it had gone back to just being houses then though.
My Great grandfather is actually the lanky chap standing on the far right of the photo!
