Stanley Appleyard’s photos of hostelries

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:

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?

The Lambert Arms Hotel

What was the occasion? Was it a works outing but presence of women suggests not. I think that is Stanley Appleyard far right.

The Lambert Arms Hotel ~1925

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:

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.

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

GoodWill To All – Harrow

The Goodwill to All pub Headstone drive 1950s
The Goodwill to All 1950s
The Goodwill to All - colourised sign
Benskin’s The Goodwill to All 1950s

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.
