Date:1830 - 1839 (c.)
Description:A photograph of a painting by Isaac Findler (1809-1888) showing the Red Lion Inn, Cheddleton. The main three-storey building is easily recognisable today. Isaac Findler was baptised at Cheddleton on the last day of 1809.Census returns show that he lived at various Cheddleton locations and his occupation is usually listed as being a house and sign painter or similar. He was an amateur artist until his retirement and then he spent more of time on paintings, primarily of a religious nature and also landscapes. An Isaac Findler was the landlord of the Red Lion in the 1870s. On his second marriage in 1887, aged 78, Isaac was described in the Leek Times as 'the well known artist'. Robert Milner's book "Cheddleton North Staffordshire A Village History" notes that his nephew Isaac, who he took into the business, described himself as a photographer in 1867 and it is possible that this photograph was taken by the younger Isaac.
