@ Caroline, thanks for that. It is from a book Old Inns and after a bit of research I am pretty sure it is Rye not Ryde. According to google maps the mermaid inn rye is still going strong! I have updated the title

This painting is actually of the Royal Anchor Hotel in Liphook, Hampshire, UK. I lived in Liphook and if you check modern photos of the Royal Anchor, you will see that it is this building. I live on the Isle of Wight and, as far as I know, there has never been an inn called The Mermaid at Ryde. There was one called The Mermaid at Freshwater Bay but it was much smaller than this building and was rebuilt and renamed as The Albion from 1830.
