Decipher Name Plate on Rose & Crown, Feckenham, Worcestershire

[leamingtonian]

The name plate in the photo is on the front wall of the Rose & Crown, Feckenham. Photo taken just before the start of WW1. The landlord of the R&C is my mother's uncle (far right front row). At the moment I have no knowledge of who Mrs Brierley is, that's research is ongoing. What I would like to know what the name is under her name so is there someone who can help with that?
Thanks

Looks like HEYWOOD if you zoom in

Are you sure it's the Rose and Crown? It looks like the name of the house is Regwood or Heywood.

I agree that the word looks like Regwood or Heywood.

I did a quick bit of googling. There is (still) a Brierley Guest House in Weymouth which looks similar to the building in the photo.

Not sure which pictures are newer - some show it with a canopy over the front door, some without.

I don't know anything about Feckenham*, but this seems to have the air of a seaside holiday establishment.

*except that since Worcestershire is landlocked it can't be on the coast

Added:
Karen - you beat me to it. The place in Weymouth certainly has some similarities, but there could be hundreds, or even thousands, of coastal properties of that age and style, unfortunately.

I don't know Feckenham, either. 

But the place in Weymouth does at least have the same name. And it was the only guesthouse that Google came up with under that name.

Perhaps leamingtonian could give them a call (they don't seem to have a dedicated website - they use online services) and ask them about the history of the place.

Rose and Crown Inn Webheath Redditch, Webheath, Worcestershire, England

The Hadkiss family were occupants in 1911 census.

I'm wondering if it's in Blackpool - the 1911 census has two possibilities:

(a) Washington Brierley had a grocer's shop at 1& 3 Lytham Road, and his wife was running a boarding house. Unfortunately the building there now is much newer, so can't be compared - but the family came from Heywood.

(b) There were several "company house keepers" in Blackpool, which I'm assuming were some kind of holiday accommodation; one of these was run by Thomas and Mary Elizabeth Brierley at 3 Lord Street. This link to Google Maps shows it in 2009 (more recent views are also available), when it had a sign up for Holiday Apartments:

Added:
There are some 1918 newspaper ads for Mrs Brierley's apartments at 11 Regent Terrace; if this is the same as the modern Regent Road, it also looks possible - but 1918 might be too late, and I haven't seen an earlier advert for these.

Anyone else noticed the “Apartments” sign in the window? This suggests to me that it was a building used for short term holiday lets. I see no evidence that it might have been the “Rose and Crown” - it just doesn’t look like a pub.
