Arthur Joseph Goodey is in the first picture; and also Arthur Joseph Goodey & Walter Lawrence, at Maypole Villa. This is opposite the Maypole, and after Arthur's retirement.
He married Eliza Ellen, and took over control of the Abberton Lion, then in October 1894 he became the Licensee of the Maypole. Initially his father supplied Arthur with beer, having brewed it himself at the Alma, in Copford ; but later the Colchester Brewing Company supplied this. Josphs wife died in 1917, and he remarried later that year to Eliza Christiana Harris (Chrissie).
Arthur was known as "Pole O" Goody; the reason being another Mr Goody lived across the road, known as "Taddie" Goody ****
