My grandparents, James Henry & Amelia Nellie Graves were the Landlord &
landlady of the Forest Hill Hotel from 1937 - 1955. They were also the
landlord & landlady of The Rising Sun, Bromley in 1922,
until about 1928. I believe there is also a connection to
The Two Trees in Hertford. By 1929 according to the BT Phone directory,
they are at the
Samsons Castle in Bermondsey. *
