Hi Yvonne,
You will have to get used to my humour I am afraid!!

It was Historical Directorys - not directory inquiries - but it is really similar - it what Annie mention before!
I have superimposed the 2 photos - what do we think?
Althought the directory was published in 1914 it would have been made up in the few years before - but it does narrow it down a bit. And we now know the name of the pub.
Now - the fire.......
