<p>Whitey's great granddaughter has recently been in touch and she has given me the following information. </p>
<blockquote><p>Whitey owned the pub with his brother Alec. Around that time, or maybe a bit later, the two brothers married two sisters; Julia and Bertha Goldberg (who I’m told were originally tenants of the pub)*.</p>
<p>The two brothers went on to buy some other pubs, including The Green Man in the City. They also at that point owned the Hackney Dog Stadium.…</p>

<p>I think someone from the <em>Friends-of</em> was supposed to. Deborah said something must have gone wrong.</p>
<p>But great to know it's you who has it. I imagine it has a chance of finding its way into the museum's collection at some point in the future. </p>

<p>Hugh, I bought this for £20. Not in brilliant condition but a nice local memento. I wonder why Bruce Castle didn't bid?</p>

<p>That’s a real shame. I was following and was going to bid and donate to the museum but when I saw a bid I thought about it and presumed I’d be bidding against you! Now wish I’d bid against the bidder. </p>

<p>Bruce Castle Museum contacted me to let me know that after picking it up via this post, they were going to make a bid for the item through the Friends of Bruce Castle. I contacted them after the auction had ended and Deborah replied that she could see that only one bid had been put on the item which had been there from near the beginning. So she felt that something had gone wrong with the Bruce Castle bid. I haven’t had confirmation of that yet.</p>
