FLETCHERS' ARMS, Fletcher Road

FLETCHERS' ARMS   #
161 Fletcher Road  /  17 Irwin Street
later 42 Fletcher Road.
*
The Fletchers' Arms is the pale building, just beyond the motor vehicle. Perhaps a better one will turn up! The building on the left is the Wellington Inn, Fletcher Road, and the photograph
comes courtesy of Meanderman (Harry), from his Flickr Collection.
*

Please see comment under previous photo about a better image turning up.
WELL!  ONE HAS.  ALL THE WAY FROM CANADA!
This wonderful photograph comes to us courtesy of Dorothy Crawford (Canada), who is the grand-daughter of Samuel Hacking, landlord from about 1926 until 1948 or 49.
*
And this is Samuel HACKING.
When he retired, he and his wife moved to close-by 20 Ribbleton Avenue, until he died in May 1960.

MINE HOSTS:
1853                    John Aspden
1855 - 59            Thomas Lawson
1861 - 69  For some reason the pub seems to have been called the "Fylde Tavern" during these years,  despite there being another Fylde Tavern in Friday Street. The fact that it happened twice would seem to remove mere error as the reason.
