104 (10) Widmore Road

Bromley

Above photo, date unknown, by Brin Hawkins.

Research shows the road to have been renumbered and that the pub also changed name to the "Arkwright's Wheel," and it is suggested this happened in the 1970s.

Norman Tullett had served in World War 2 and been prisoner of war of the Germans.

From there, I believe it again changed name, this time to "Scruffy Murphy's" and later still to the "Compass" having lost the other two in time. Unfortunately the time of these changes is as yet unknown to me.
