Royal Duke, Victoria Road

[Adrienne Lewis]

Hi, new here. Does anyone know anything about a pub called the Royal Duke on Victoria Road, maybe Lillington place? My great great great grandfather (Jesse Quarterman)owned it circa 1860-80. It's on the censuses. From the rate books it looks like he owned a few properties along Victoria Rd. It maybe that the White Horse was it originally???
My gran was a Quarterman, lived in Aston, married Wilf Hall who drove the trams and ran for the Birchfield Harriers, a street away from the Baglins where my Dad was born. A friend of mine is a Baglin from Bidford. His grandfather was Arthur Thomas. Turns out we share some DNA somewhere along the line too. So, err, hi coz!
