The 1871 Census shows Brewers Arms at 71 (William Laxton - Watch Case Springer & Publican), with Edward Beaumont at 73 (Watchmaker and Provision Dealer)
In 1901, Caroline Gorsuch is at 71 (Licensed Victualler)

I've been trawling through planning records.
Present day No 46 was last used as a grocer's along with No 44 although the latter retained its original frontage. No 46 had previously been a butcher's for many years.
No 42 was converted from a post office to a private dwelling in 1989. No 40 may also have been a shop at one time. In 1990 the council ordered the frontages of both buildings to be restored to their original Victorian appearance. They also ordered the white meter cupboards to be removed from the front of both buildings but to this day it has still not been done.

My neighbour at 65 Mount St remembers the grocers, I can only remember the chip shop (was it Pauls chippy?) when I moved into 66 Mount St as I'm sure that was around the same place as where your describing the grocers being at.
It's a shame this photo was not taken outside the Craven Arms looking down past Craven Terrace, instead this is at the top of Duke St looking down Craven St with the Coombe/Hearsall on the right.

Well thanks guys this has been a very interesting history lesson, but Brewers Arms still shrouded in mystery, may get on to land registry see if they come up with anything. We've had photos in both directions up and down Craven St, except the one we want, there must be one in existence.
Anyway dutchman, mid red and catshed (hello cat, fancy seeing you on here) keep looking

I think we've firmly established the location of the Brewers Arms and what it looks like today. The only thing missing is a photo of the frontage when actually in use as a pub.

Here's a photo of 'Flo Barratt' in her shop where the pool table now stands at the Craven Arms.
When she passed away they framed this photo of her and it's above the seat in the pub which was 'her's', she asked me to moved out her seat on several occasions

Photo of 46 Craven Street (I think we agreed it was formerly the Brewers Arms!)
