Writing from afar (Sydney, Australia) I was delighted to read stories of and see photos of the Bellfield Inn. To my surprise a couple of the photos published have images of my Great Great Grand Father Len Hyde and his wife May. My Great (x2) Grand Father was the publican at the Bellfield in the early 1900's till he died in 1932. His daughter May went on to live in South Africa where in her 80's she recites tales of the Bellfield and growing up in the 1920's. I would appreciate any feed back especially information that relates to the Bellfield Inn and its current state today. I would also like to know where the photo of the Gun Club back in the 1920's was taken. Best regards, Len Hyde  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>lhyde@sebelfurniture.com</U></FONT> </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="738" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 423 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="48e5e690.jpg" border=0 width="350" height="361" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Rowland Andrews, Dennis Greaves and George</div> <div> Photos from Dennis Greaves</div> <div> see CHISWELL ROAD or TUDOR STREET</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Rowland Andrews, Dennis Greaves and Jim</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="4905e700.jpg" border=0 width="350" height="368" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>Princess Alexandra Public House ( The Alec) </I><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I>26/09/04</I></FONT></div> <div> <I> Devonshire Street and Kent Street North</I></div> <div> <I> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="774" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 421 WIDTH="345"><div>  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#330099" FACE="Arial" >Photograph taken sometime during 1958-60 in the Alex public house corner of Kent Street North and Devonshire Street it was a Darts night </FONT> .</div> <div> L-R Standing Brian Bancroft, Trevor Field </div> <div> seated at rear is Alan Bancroft followed by Scotty standing.</div> <div> Front  Charlie Taylor, (behind Charlie) Pat Deeley            <U> DATE 1958/60</U></div> <div> <B>Photograph supplied by Dougie Bancroft</B></div> <div> <I> </I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I><IMG SRC="14531e60.jpg" border=0 width="305" height="230" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></FONT></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="4dc92fa0.jpg" border=0 width="402" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> L-R    Bobby Dandy, Bert Roath, Bill Dyer, Elsie Dyer, </div> <div> Peggy Dandy, Ivy Roach.              </div> <div> <U>DATE 1950s</U></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 281 ><NOBR><div> <I><IMG SRC="4d573030.jpg" border=0 width="371" height="259" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="410"><div> L-R   Ruby ?, Ivy Roach, Rene Timms, Elsie Dyer<IMG SRC="4d773010.jpg" border=0 width="371" height="257" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 322 ><NOBR><div> L-R  Rene Timms (Lees St) Elsie Dyer (Kent St N)</div> <div> Ivy Roach (Devonshire Street) Peggy Dandy.</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="4d973e00.jpg" border=0 width="371" height="224" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> L-R.  ? , Bobby Dandy, Grahme Kemp (Son of Landlord),</div> <div>          ? , Bill Dyer</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="4db73060.jpg" border=0 width="371" height="262" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></I></div> <bR> <div> <B>****************************************************************************************************************</B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I><IMG SRC="47f2c560.png" border=0 width="300" height="342" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></FONT><I> </I><IMG SRC="736fa020.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="258" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>  <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" >Any idea who used one of theses</FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>"The Old Smithy"</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" > formally the </FONT></div> <bR> <div> Smiths Arms "Smithfield Arms"<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> one of the surviving area pubs</div> <div> Photo from Alan Butler (2004)</div> <div>          </div> <div> **********************************************************************************************************************</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="96f588e0.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="398" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> SOHO</div> <bR> <div> FOUNDRY</div> <bR> <div> TAVERN</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="96b57ce0.jpg" border=0 width="599" height="462" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#EEEEEE" FACE="Arial" >27/01/08</FONT></div> <div> I have just been on your web site to check if an old photo I had was the <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Soho Foundry Tavern </B></FONT>as you cannot see the name of the pub on the photo, I think it is.
