The 1901 Census lists my Great Uncle, Harry Edward Hammond, age 45, as being the Licenced Vitualler at The Aldrington Hotel. Accompanied by his family, incl.
Ellen, Wife (48)
Marion Ellen, Daughter (20) Vituallers Assistant
Harry Edward Son (19) ” ”
William Jack Son (13)
May Ethel Daughter (80
Harry was Brighton born, his wife born in Henfield and the children born in Hove. The slogan at the time was ‘THE FINEST BILLARD SALOON IN THE SOUTH’.
10 years later, my ancestor William James SLAUGHTER aged 41 was the Licenced Vitualler at The Aldrington Hotel. Also living at this address at 90 Portland Road was :
Alice SLAUGHTER (36) Assisting in the business
George Funnell SLAUGHTER (9) School
Alice SLAUGHTER (5)
Reginald Lionel WEBBON (25) Barman
Bessie Harvey SANDS (21) General Servant Domestic
Florence STEEL (10) Visitor
Does anyone know who took the pub on after this ?
