Seeking pub identification

It also looks as if they might have gone to Canada.

I am sure you know Gladys was a widow when she married Arthur so wonder if the Towers child is hers? Do you know?

Confusing.

48 Albert Road is the home of Gladys's parents I think. She was Gladys Glover before she became Mrs Towers - on the marriage cert her Father is Frank and the names on the 1927 eroll also include Frank and Minnie .

Brilliant work Lyn, as usual. I imagine that involved many hours searching through pub photos, plus a photo I've not seen before.

Thankyou. Here is another rather scruffy photo from my collection of family photos from Birmingham, of Arthur outside the Ewe and Lamb.. he is next to the man wearing the apron.

Yes that was my Auntie Mu who lived to 103! They moved back to England after Canada and lived in Worcestor. My mum Jean Marigold Evans ( nee Glover) is her younger half sister.
Muriel married Fred Lewis and at one point they were mayor and mayoress of Worcester.

You're most welcome to Lyn. I do seem to have inherited a few old photos in a tatty condition!
 
i am the same with some of my family photos but at least we have them..it may take a day or two but as soon as hopefully your photo looks a tad tidier i will post it for you on here

John you are a magician. Thankyou so much for a complete renovation of the photo of the Ewe and Lamb pub with my grandfather Arthur D Glover in. Your time is much appreciated. Cheers!
