In July 2009, Mrs Sian Woosnam wrote to ask for our assistance, "Hi, I am researching my family tree and have discovered that my Great Grandfather, John Frederick Hill, ran the Queen's Arms pub in Brook Street. I am hoping to get a photo of this pub and wondered if you could help me?"

We're happy to oblige and a larger version of this photograph has been sent to her and is now in our gallery. If anybody can provide further assistance, write to Sian here: sianwoosnam@btinternet.com
