Description:
The picture shows: centre - Mrs Elizabeth Richardson (nee Frearson, b. c 1841); right, her daughter Mrs Elizabeth Annie Musson (nee Richardson, b 15 July 1877); and left Nelly Hanley a domestic 'help'.
The Old Anchor was run from November 1907 by Elizabeth Richardson until 1910 when she left the licence trade and retired. The photograph was taken probably soon after James Richardson took over the licence. Prior to his tenancy at the Old Anchor James Richardson held a licence for the Dyers Arms at 3/5 Finkhill Street from circa 1894 until transferring to the Old Anchor.
