My Grandfather, Robert Charles Smith, was the registered licensee and bought The Magnet
from George Pearce in January 1932 and sold it A.E. Bolsom in 1936. As I understand it he took over from George Pierce.
He then purchased the Lord
Palmerston, 38 Park Road East, Acton W3, which he owned from 1936 until
his death in 1948. *
