A friend of mine lives in York Cottage which was once a pub and he has deeds for it but would love to find a photo of his house when it was a pub.
It is on the right of Broadfield just past the school on the left.
His deeds go back to the 1500's and the house was a pub called The York in 1920 and the Brewery closed it a few years later.
He has lived there all his life (over 50years) and his parents before him, he has searched all over for a photo of the place when it was a pub.
As a last resort I thought that there was a slight chance one of out historians may have a photo for him.
He has all the history on his deeds with dates etc so there is no doubting that it was once a pub.
I hope someone on the forum can help him out.
Thanks.
