Title: Where is this?
Post by: rover72 on Tuesday 03 May 22 21:32 BST (UK)
A local bookseller is trying work out where the view in the postcard is. The pub signs say....

BLUE BELL
HOLE’S Newark ALES

Does anyone know where this is?

Thanks

I looked at the breweryhistory.com website and I have a feeling that it might be the Blue Bell, Belchford, Lincs. I'm not from that area so I would love to know if my theory is correct.

Streetview suggests that your theory is correct.

I definitely favour  the Belchford  one, over the Sutton in Ashfield.

Thank you to everyone who has responded.

On the breweryhistory.com website there's a list of James Hole & Co Ltd pubs http://breweryhistory.com/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_James_Hole_%26_Co_Ltd_pubs (http://breweryhistory.com/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_James_Hole_%26_Co_Ltd_pubs)

This has four entries for pubs called Blue Bell:

I've looked at all of them on google maps and I feel that it's the one in Belchford, Lincs.
