A list of Stanley Appleyard’s photos of hostelries found amongst his 32 albums. Location of some have been found and some of these are still in business. Very much work in progress. First an exception – The Goodwill to All in Harrow – a photo from Basil Appleyard:
- Ye Olde Bell Hotel – Barnby Moor
- Lambert Arms Hotel, Watlington
- Horse and Jockey – Doncaster
- The Bridge Hotel – Acle
- Rock Garden Hotel – Bognor Regis
- Royal Norfolk Hotel – Bognor Regis
- The Goodwill To All – Harrow
Finally a link to Fields Oriental Lounge Bridlington – not a hostelry but it would have sold alcohol (and cigarettes).
Ye Olde Bell Hotel – Barnby Moor
Located with the help of Google Lens. History of the place can be found here.

Lambert Arms Hotel, Watlington
Two photos of the hotel, are they separate occasions?
What was the occasion? Was it a works outing but presence of women suggests not. I think that is Stanley Appleyard far right.
Second image, showing Basil and Jean and Nana Appleyard far right. This would date the photo to around 1925. Comparison of climber on the wall and open/closed window suggest a different but similar date to the first image.

Horse and Jockey – Doncaster
Just a routine Google search found the location of this pub. My guess the crowd outside are Stanley’s colleagues from Thomas Firth:
Person unknown outside the Horse and Jockey. The pub has since closed but the building is still standing although now partly boarded up. Link to current view below.

Pub is closed.
The Bridge Hotel – Acle
From album dated 1928 describing holiday at Gorleston-on-Sea. Confirmed as Acle from this similar image from the 1950s. Link to 1950s image https://www.francisfrith.com/acle/acle-the-bridge-hotel-from-the-bridge-c1950_a204068
First of the hostelries listed on this page to be visited. My image:

From the same album

GoodWill To All – Harrow
Colourised sign for the “The Goodwill to All” from another of Basil’s negatives. Both images dated 1951 (assumed from other datable images relating to the Festival of Britain). Appleyard family home at the time was 76 Harrow View and The Goodwill to All was the nearest pub.
