1891 census shows Thomas Charles was employed as a publican in Cradley Heath.
His address at that time was 75 Cradley Road. I have noticed that Benjamin Westwood was an innkeeper/publican (licensed) employing others in the same census batch. Westwood address was 62 Cradley Road.

Suggestions re: finding employment records for Thomas Charles as a publican will be appreciated.

I am wondering if 75 Cradley Road residence is still in existence? If so, suggestions on how to obtain photos?
Thank you.

Hi SR
that would probably be Sandwell archives or Smethwick archives same thing!
contact them or if you are local drop in and have a look at all their photos.
as for it being still in existence

Hi SR, Cradley Road ran south of 5 Ways Cradley Heath, down to Bridge Street Cradley. There are lots of pictures in both Cradley and Cradley Heath Local History Books, there is a really nice one which shows the famous Cross Guns Inn and Samuel Tibbetts Butchers Shop in a book by Ron Moss, called 'Cradley Heath and Old Hill' a second edition, you can buy these on Line, or as NL said, Sandwell Archives, also Dudley Archives has a lot of Cradley books. Most of the area has now been redeveloped but a few old buildings remain, good luck from Linell.

I think your best bet is contact the archives and see if they have any info that could help you
employment records
old photos etc
they do a research service.

few sites
http://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/
http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp

as for an up to date photo you would have to see if anyone could do a photo for you if they live near there

I can move this to Brickwalls or archive it
