Hi , My Gt, Gran father owned the pub with his wife certainly until after the 1st war.
Their name was Antonio and Palma Valente, one of their sons was killed in the war his name was Fredrick Valente, 10th Bn Lancashire Fusiliers ( 15th Feb 1916, 31 years old.)
My uncle Fred named after him told me many stories about the pub because he would often stay with his gran and Gran Dad. most of the customers were Italian one was Mr Valvona who made ice cream waffers ( please forgive my spelling of his family name.)
Unfortunatly all my relations have passed away so I am dependent on my memories.
