My g grandfather, Allan George (Bob) Carter was a publican and had the Walnut Tree and later the Angel and Trumpet in Stepney, Middlesex. There is a picture of him and his two sons on a day trip to a pub, which appears to be at 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. ***

Allen George Carter - circa 1930
