Napier Arms, Woodford with Charles Besser name above the door
Kindly provided by Sandra Smith
Napier Arms, Woodford New Road, South Woodford E18 - in 1926
Charles Besser at the Napiers Arms, Woodford - not for long, but he is definitely there in 1912. There is a Charles Besser at the White Hart, in 1901; also a Charles Besser at the Black Horse by 1906, and also at the Post Office Tavern by 1922
Superb tram shot, passing the Napier Arms.
