Britannia Inn, Loftus

Not the Britannia Inn as we see it today and I don’t remember it being like this. Possibly dates as follows- 1891 Census list: Britannia Inn, 65 High Street, Loftus. Robert Bainbridge (Head) age 44, also described as Engine Driver; wife Mary age 39, daughter Ada age 18, son Timothy age 16 and Ada Robson age 14 general servant. According to Kelly’s Directory of 1905: Robert Bainbridge is listed as Beer Retailer, High Street, Loftus.
