James Porter was publican in 1879 (see Post Office directory ). Thomas Holder was publican in 1883 (see Kelly's Directory). James Utteridge was publican in 1892 (see Kelly's Directory) and in 1904 (see Spaldings directory). George A. Emery was publican in 1913 (see Spaldings directory) and in 1916 (see Kelly's directory). June Wilson from Canada emailed me in 2005 as follows: I was born in July 1931 at Number 45 Gwydir St. when it was at that time "The Gwydir Arms" public house. My grandmother Mrs Amelia Newman was the landlady at the time. My father (her son) Cecil Reginald Brown and my mother Dorothy May were living with her at the time of my birth and we stayed there until I was about 2 years old when we moved to Lovell Road. My father was an insurance agent with the Co-operative Society. |
