Originally the Hanover Hotel, the Britannia is still trading and is now known as the Piccadilly Ale House.  This picture was kindly provided by Janice Alesna who hopes that further research will identify the little boy as her grandfather Albert William Nation, the gentleman in the picture is thought to be the lad’s uncle Albert.  If you have an interest in the surname of Nation you can visit Janice’s web site (www.nationstudy.com) here
