More about this scene
The King William IV public house, dating from 1862, is the first in a row of noteworthy buildings in Vantorts Road. At one time it had a small brewery attached which served beer through a surviving range of unique pumps. Next door stands the Masonic Hall, and Fair Green House is in the distance.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lost both my parents, and was sent away to boarding school, which was Hyde Hall. I remember the day I arrived because it was thick snow, and I had to walk all the way from the station with my welfare officer and then up the long drive. I was not in the best of spirits on that day. However, I attended the school until I was eighteen, and have some very good and bad memories. Dorringtons was my favourite shop although we were only allowed to just look!
My grandparents Mr & Mrs Edward Turner used to live here and run this pub. I had my 5th birthday here so that would make it July 1958, a couple of years before the photo. I'm not sure when they moved in or out.
