Thanks everyone for giving thought and suggestions to this. I tried phoning some nearby antique dealers and ended up with a very lengthy conversation with a guy in Bodmin but whilst he was giving me his life story my wife remembered that the man in my photo had said that the set had belonged to his father who had lived in north London but moved to Cornwall.

I did also try phoning the Jamaica Inn to see if any longstanding customers remember my guy but of course they have no contact with their customers currently. It might be long enough before I get any response there.

Peter.
