Elizabeth F Halliday & Lillian E Rowlinson were sisters inheriting the pub from my great grandfather . William Halliday. The pub was managed by my Grandfather Edmund J Rowlinson, the husband of Lillian. The pub was destroyed at the end of WW2 by a V rocket killing both Elizabeth & Lillian ( along with Harry Coats - son in law ); my Grandfather survived and took another occupation. ***
