 The OAK HOTEL & manager is James T Blanchflower. |
The Royal Oak Hotel was and still is in Chapel–en-le-Frith in Derbyshire. The photograph was taken before 1910, as James Thomas Blanchflower died that year. His wife Esther (nee Mills) carried on as manageress of the hotel after his death. James, although born in Surrey in 1861, was the son of James Blanchflower from Watton, Norfolk. He joined the 16th Queens Lancers in 1885 and was discharged in 1890. After his discharge he became a valet to Herbert Dugdale, a captain in the same company who was from Derbyshire. He then went on to become a cellarman in Gerald Street, Derby, before moving to the Oak in Chapel-en-le Frith. |
