Royal Oak

Above photo, 1899, kindly sent by Guy Sankey. The sign calls it the "Royal Tavern," but there is the sign of an oak tree between the words. I am assuming it is indeed this pub, but aren't certain. Things just don't look right to me.

Above photo circa 1900, being similar to the top one, kindly sent by Glyn Head, who says it is of his grand-dad, great grand-dad and great grand-mother standing outside the pub, which he says was addressed as being at Lower Hayesden. If that's the case I may have this and the "Red Lion" Hayesden mixed. Further information says that around 1925 the beers were supplied by the Old Dartford Brewery.
