I attach a photograph of The Foresters taken in August 1914 with my Grandfather (in waistcoat), Grandmother, holding my newborn Father, standing outside.
I was really thrilled to see a picture of The Old House at Home, it's nice to see it was still standing in 2007. My Great Grandfather, Augustus Williams was also a beer house keeper at the Gladstone, 37 Dean Street. ***
