Nice, I see from Dad's original notes that my great-great-grandfather was a publican, so I've done a quick google and found mention 1 on pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.co.uk 2 as the landlord of the Moulders Arms:
Pictured here outside his beerhouse in 1912 is landlord Samuel RAINEY with a couple of nosey customers peering out through the vault window. By now the Moulders was owned by Walkers Brewery of Warrington but sadly it closed in 1927
With a picture! Not a super clear one, but still... looks like it might be from this book 3, so I'll get a copy... I think we have more pub landlords in the family, so maybe there are more books around (like Folkestone's own Tales Of The Tap Room that I have) detailing a bit of history.
π¬ How sure are you that he's our Our Samuel?
