Hi Derek

Thanks for these excellent pictures.
My Great Great Grandparents were licensees of the Royal Standard in the late 1880s and their name is above the door in the oldest picture.
No one in my family has pics, so these are brilliant.
Can I ask where you got the pictures and also if there's anything like a date written on the back?

Thanks again
