Hi Emily; Thanks for your e-mail!!
Gt grandfather William Charles Walker was the landlord in the 1850's by the 1861 census he had gone back to London. I have a couple of grainy[distance pikkies of the Tavern PLUS a highly interesting copy of the "advert" to sell the pub by granddaddy in the Hampshire Telegraph dated 13th March 1858, full of descriptions of the property. I would kill for a close up of the property!! Feel free to reply to blakesmjb@yahoo.co.uk Did you find anything of interest for yourself re-your great grandfather?
regards
Michael
