My great grandmother Hannah Elizabeth Cartier was the publican from just
after 1918, her daughter (my Grandmother) Lily Blow took over in 1927 and
had the pub until it was demolished. She also had the
Czars head, The Tiger,
and the Mermaid (and the
Enfield Arms & the
Fountain). My mother is now
86, but is full of stories of the Yarmouth. ***
