My great-grandfather James Robert Dudley North Scroggins, was the owner of this coffee shop at 22 Carlton Hill in 1881. I know this because my grandfather George James Scroggins was born in the rooms above on the 5th of July 1881, where the family lived, and the above information is on his birth certificate. I would appreciate any information you can give me on the wording above the door. I can make out some but not all of the wording as the photo file is so small, or if you could send me a larger photo.

Regarding the comments by Brian Cross about this photograph, Paul Jordan has sent me the same photo. Is this in fact The Carlton Arms of which my great grandfther William Burchett was once the proprietor? If so, it should be No 1 Carlton Hill. I would like to know please.

My grandfather James Lower a tailor was living at 18 Carlton Hill in 1881, at the house of a newsagent and confectioner, his nephew Alfred Hedger. Do any more photographs of this street exist?

One of my ancestors, Thomasina Barnard (nee Mugridge), was the wife of a publican who lived at 92 Carlton Hill for many decades. I believe the place was called the Carlton Tavern. Any more info on this would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Has anyone got an old photo of 64A Carlton Hill (on corner of Blaker Street) - when it was the former post office? I would be interested to see this.
