About this objectPhotograph of The Kings Arms Inn dating to c.1913. The Kings Arms appears on trade directories from 1823, staying within the Richardson family for a long period. Widow Richardson is listed as the owner of the business at this earliest date.
William Richardson who also worked as a coach wheelwright was the owner listed on directories from 1839 until 1862 when Joseph Richardson is listed as the owner. In 1867 Joseph is also listed as a coach builder.
As this photo dates to around 1913 it is likely that the owner was William Saddler, who appears in the directory for 1912. The women outside the building are perhaps family members.
After a long history The King's Arms closed in 2014.
