I believe my relative William Crane was a public an at this establishment.

The pub was knocked down in 2003.

Just wondering if anyone has access to newspapers...are there any articles relating to this place?

Thank you in anticipation

William was born in 1874...so it would have been at the turn of the twentieth century that he was working there I should think. Sorry I just have put his birth date.

According to Wikipedia the pub was designed in 1937 so he must have worked there after this date. It was Art Deco in style:-

Your relation would have been over 65 by the time the pub opened............

You may need to re-think

William Crane was there in 1921

Thank you Erica..yes that was my great grandfather in 1921

Would anyone be able to look in newspaper archives to see if there were any interesting events between 1921 and 1934 when my great grandfather was there?

Not sure how I have ended up with my request 3 times...

Sorry and thankyou

There are 6 articles in newspapers on Findmypast mentioning the Paviours Arms but they are from 1939 to 1949, so too late for your great grandfather's time.

Thank you Kath

the paviours arms is still in page street

Hi Malyon. I believed it had been knocked down in 2003

There are conflicting reports on the internet. Some say the building was knocked down in 2003 and others say it was closed down in 2003. I think there may be more than one Paviour's Arms in London, so not sure the reports are all talking about the same building.
