Know what you mean re family history Denise. One of my ancestors in the mid 1800's caused a scandal by marrying his pregnant housekeeper less than a year after his first wife died. He being a lay preacher in chapel and an upstanding pillar of society.

I was doing some research in the local area I saw there was some confusion about the Stonebridge Hotel which was knocked down in the 60's ?

I hope these pictures help.
 It was diagonally opposite the Malt Shovel and backed onto the river

What brilliant photos, I'm sure Denise will be chuffed at them when she returns from her caravan break.

You of course realise that I have snaffled a copy of each, hope you don't mind.

Phil,

I'm not sure what the copyright rules are but I should have credited Albert Smith from who's book 'One Hundred Years of the life in a village now under threat' I scanned them from.
I found another picture on eBay that you and Denise may or may not have seen before.
It gives a much clearer idea of the Old Coaching Inn with the incorporation of the much larger extension which must have been built for the increase of passing motor trade (before the 'anti Drink driving laws')

Morris,

Welcome to the forum - good to see that you're making your way around - these are excellent photos and as Phil said, Denise will be chuffed when she gets back. Well done O0

I think the general rule for copyright on photographs is they are protected for 70 years after the death of the person that took the photo. The trouble is there are so many exceptions to this that can make it less you would need to be a solicitor trained in copyright law to understand them all.

The main trouble is in finding who in fact has copyright of some of these old photos in circulation. I think that as long as you don't reproduce any photo from a protected collection you are fine, and if you accidentally do just that, if challenged over it you can remove it.

So we are glad to see another wonderful photo of The Stonebridge Hotel and I must say it looks at least 70 years old.
