George Arthur Deller was an architect involved in the building of the "London Tavern," on behalf of the brewery he worked for, and says the new house replaced the original in the 1930s and was built a little further back from the road and unlike the other buildings in the area also had a forecourt. Once opened it changed name slightly from the "London Hotel" to the "London Tavern."

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
