This picture was taken in the 1950’s, the bunting was probably to celebrate the Queen’s coronation in 1953. The Punch Bowl is still trading and much spruced up.  First listed as the Punch Bowl in 1872, it was previously listed under wine & spirit dealers (no sign).  Information on Joseph Cheesewright was provided by Nick Cheesewright via the message forum.
