Obituary of Charles Horace Yates
(Bath newspaper 1958)
Charles Horace Yates, BEM died at Claverton Down Hospital.
The death of Mr Charles. H. (Tubby) Yates, of 29 Stirtingale Road, Bath who for some years, was landlord of the Traveller’s Rest, Walcot, which was acquired for £1 (from Georges Brewery) by the Bath Corporation under a slum clearance scheme and has now ceased to exist as a public house. The shutters went up on the Traveller’s Rest in September 1956. Trade had slackened over the previous five years with so many customers leaving the district under the Snow Hill re-development scheme, but with new flats going up in the area, it had begun to pick up. Eventually it was acquired under a compulsory purchase order. Mr Yates had been at the establishment since March 1934, when his Mother and Father took it over. He is survived by his wife Dorothy.
