Edmund Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Sheffield Archives hold 2 (not great) photos but there are copyright issues. Maybe a discussion with them could get you copies? Say a charitable donation and in recognition they provide a couple of reasonable pictures? Also the Archives may have photos that are not on PictureSheffield.

darnell_ginnal Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Thank you for the replies and tip about the possible photo's at the archives. He was John Henry Fellows. He took over the Victoria in December 1925 after the council had knocked down his previous beer house, the New Music Hall Tavern, to make way for the Sheffield War Memorial. He ran the Vic until his death at the age of 75 in 1929. Then his wife continued as landlady until her death in 1935. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darnell_ginnal Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 The wife he ran the Victoria with, was actually his third wife. He only had children with his first wife who died in 1896. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
