Great Warley pub history index
My g grandfather, Allan George (Bob) Carter was a publican and had
the Walnut Tree and
later the Angel and Trumpet
in Stepney, Middlesex. Here is a picture of him and his two sons on a day
trip to a pub, which appears to be the Headley
Arms, as the name of the
landlord appears to be James R Clifton (name over the door and on the
bench).
We have a long family connection with the trade. My gggg grandfather,
William Carter, was an Ostler at a pub in Wickford, Essex between about 1810
and 1850. ***

My grandmother lived in The Headley
in her teenage years with her 9 brothers
and sisters. John Holloway was her father and my Great grandfather. John was
the licensee, born in 1865 we think, and was therefore aged 49 in 1914 as
listed on your known residents. He lost his licence eventually because he
let people in after hours! There is another good picture of the Headley
circa 1955 in the Francis Frith
Collection. *
