I believe The Phoenix was situated where the Shampan restaurant is now, so all the best to Monzur Hussain and Dayhem Ahmed pictured above!
If anyone has any information on my relatives or information about the pub please let me know. They are listed on the census as: Robert Ward/Publican/45. Sarah Ward. George Ward/Builders Apprentice/15. Samuel Gill/Male Servant/20.Charlotte Clark/Female Servant/20. George Robinson/Male Servant/12.
