Newtown Road Newbury - No address.

[B17_Fan]

So it really does look like the address doesn't exist. That is dissapointing. I guess I'll never know for sure now where he was born.

The formatting is dodgy - I can't see how to set tabs in this message editor. If you cut and paste the listing lines from here into Excel or similar and it should sort itself out.

Don't worry if you can't find the Tiger or Weaver's Arms - they closed down at about this time, their last entries would be in 1928 or 1929. Any changes, notably of landlord, are of interest.

I've been looking for where my late grandad was born. On his Birth Cert it says 99 Newtown Road.

Came across a reference to 99 Newtown Road today - in Vera Garlick's The Newbury Scrapbook. p54. She gives it as the address of the workhouse ...

[choccobaby]

99 newtown road, Does exist, live 6 doors down from it.

 20/11/2003 £472,500 Det. F No Map 99, Newtown Road, Newbury, West Berkshire, RG14 7DD

Sadley though it  is a reletively new  house built within last 20 years.

The original 99 newtown road, was infact part of the workhouse, and none of this is left.

Hi Newbury Chap,

I have just seen your post about Newbury Pubs and I can't think why I missed it.  I will look up the Pubs in Kelly's and get back to you .

Information on the workhouse here:-

http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Newbury/Newbury.shtml

[Newburykeith]

On the 1928 Blacket's Pub directory, at the Globe Inn Newbury a C Taylor was identified, is any information available about when he arrived at this Inn and how long the family remained. Could be a distant relative.

Thanks

Newburykeith

[newburychap]

From directories: Charles Taylor was at the Globe from 1915 to 1928. He was not there in 1913 or 1930.

Which is as close as I can get at present. I am still collecting data and will, eventually be able to put dates to his being granted the license and when his replacement takes over.

The Globe is now the Snooty Fox.
