ukelele lady Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Shazan was asking about paintings of old pubs, this is one I have on my wall at home. It is of Norfolk bridge but has anyone heard of this pub? It's called the Coal Fields, a genuine name which was looked up before the picture was painted. I'm not sure what they call that road without getting the map out. I'ts heading towards Attercliffe. Where's the map man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jeremy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Where's the map man. Something like this? From map 87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 151 Attercliffe Road is marked as a beerhouse in the 1911 White's directory; keeper Alonzo C Howard (interesting to me as I'm vaguely related to an Alonzo Howard) Looking again at the picture, if the viewpoint were slightly further back than the mark I put on the map then that would work out right.

Guest Jeremy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 1891 census for 151 Attercliffe Road. FindMyPast transcribes this as "Local Field Tavern", I'm trying to read it as "Coal Field Tavern", but it doesn't seem to fit… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Well it certainly does look like LOCAL. I've tried but here's no way I can "make" it read COAL Why would COAL seem possible to you Jeremy? Have you got some other reference to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Why would COAL seem possible to you Jeremy? Have you got some other reference to it?
