Walter J Edlin, born Q4 1883 Regency Tavern, Russell Square, Brighton.
In 1901 he was a Post Office Clerk. He married Millicent L Earney in Brighton
Q1 1911. The HQ for their Brighton pub chain was the
King and Queen. After
the First World War it was a garage run by Walter Edlin and Neville Hodgson
before reverting to a pub in 1932.
The original King and Queen inn was a bow-fronted two-storey Georgian
building on the site of a farmhouse. This had gained a licence in 1779 to
cater for various sporting events held at that time on the North Steine. In
addition the inn was also the venue for Brighton's corn market until 1868
when the Corn Exchange opened.
The present building was built in the Tudor style by architects Clayton and
Black in 1931-32 with carved timber framing, herring-bone brickwork, stained
glass and tapestries. The interiors were fitted out by Heaton, Tabb and
Company, a well-known firm of pub decorators. Despite the figures of Henry
VIII and one of his wives, the inn's sign more accurately shows King George
III and Queen Charlotte. In 1967 three rooms were knocked through to make a
mediaeval nobleman's hall.
Walter's father Henry William Edlin, born Q3 1848 baptised on 28 Oct 1849,
in Shadwell, Stepney. Henry was a Licensed Victualler. He was married Q3 1877

to the 1881 Census they lived at the
Talfourd Arms on Lyndhurst Road in Camberwell, Surrey. He was a Licensee from 12th August 1889. In 1891 they
were living at 33 Russell Square, Brighton. He died in 1892 at the Regency
Tavern Brighton and in 1893 his widow, Emily, became a Licensee. from 2 May
1893 until 4 November 1902. She died May 1938 age 91 at Gloucester Mansions
