Also known as the Napier Tavern

Napier Arms, Woodford with Charles Besser name above the door
Kindly provided by Sandra Smith
Charles Besser at the Napiers Arms, Woodford - not for long, but he is definitely there in 1912. There is a Charles Besser at the White Hart, in 1901; also a Charles Besser at the Black Horse by 1906, and also at the Post Office Tavern by 1922

Superb tram shot, passing the Napier Arms.
