JOSEPH KENDALL bridegroom in 1854 states Innkeeper on marriage cert.
1855 Post Office Directory Grantham gives: Joseph Kendall Beer retailer Wharf Rd.
This is why I wonder whether it was an off-licence not a pub. I have Michael Pointers book on Grantham pubs but of course it does not give publicans names.
Any other clues much appreciated.  My great aunt Lydia married Alf Dawson, pork butcher with the shop opposite Rutland St on Wharf Road. Her step-son Ron Burnett had it till it closed when Rutland St disappeared. I often visited.

My great-aunt Mrs Lydia Dawson lived at the corner house with Wharf Rd, 13 Rutland Street.  Also knew Miss Lizzie Lane who lived further down.  I spent many school holidays at No. 13.

Aunt Lydia had gas light and a cellar door directly opposite the front door. If the door was left open you might fall straight down the cellar steps. I remember when electricity was put in in 1947.  She had been a Red Cross nurse in Grantham during the war and must have been well known. Her sister Miriam lived with her until her death in 1977. Lydia died 1970.  Their brother George Morley lived in Stanton Street.
