Love this.
Ive searched for Rose and Crown on St Marks Street Leicester.
My great grandfather ran this John Ward 1911.
I would love to see a picture after searching so much.
Lisa, see history of Rose and Crown on Crab St, later St Marks St, afraid no photo as yet though.
On the 1911 census my ancestors are shown living at 34 Carley Street. The Sidwell.
How lovely to find a picture of my ancestor’s ‘local’ (and the children’s school next door). My ancestors were living at 36 1/2 Carley Street in the 1911 Census – Nathanial Preston and family. There was also a 34 1/2 Carley Street, immediately next door to the pub; Mary Crane is listed as living at No. 34, and the Sidwells at 34 1/2.
