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. ***

1934 - Stepney Licensee's Funeral
A large number of friends gathered outside "The Angel and Trumpet", High Street, Stepney, on Thursday afternoon to watch the funeral of Mr Allan
George ("Bob") Carter, who had been its popular licensee for over 12 years.
Previously, Mr Carter had been the licensee of "The Walnut Tree", in
Stepney, and had been associated with the licensing trade for more than 20
years. His death which occurred on the 19th instance, at the age of 53, is
deeply regretted by a wide circle of friends. The interment took place at
the City of London Cemetery, Ilford. Among those present were:
Mrs A G Carter (widow), Mr and Mrs Charles Carter and Mr and Mrs Walter
Carter (sons and daughters in law), Mr and Mrs Golding, Miss Nellie Carter
and Mr and Mrs Len Williams (nieces and nephews), Mrs A Townsend, Mrs S
Oliver, Mr W Cooksley (Crown Hotel, Raleigh),
Mr and Mrs J Botfield (Beaumont Arms, Stepney), Mr G Botfield, Mr J Chapman
("King Harry", Mile End), Mr R Hedger ("Crown and Dolphin", Stepney), Mr H
Brown ("Royal Oak", Stepney) and numerous other friends and tradesmen.

What I am now attempting to achieve is the coverage of an earlier London
street directory in 1832. This is unique, plus
images of the 1842 Robsons directory which confirm earlier entries and also
carry much more trade detail about a premises or person. Here is the index of streets in 1832, many with
1842 imagery added.
And next is the complete 1940 London street directory - this will take some months to complete, so bear with me!
