The Station Commercial Hotel - Public Houses, Inns and Taverns of Wisbech
This building appears to be the former Station Commercial Hotel on Victoria Road, Wisbech. As the name indicates it was next to Wisbech East Station, which closed in 1968. An old photo of the hotel, which appears to have been taken around the time of The First World War 1914-1918, can be seen here http://media.geograph.org.uk/view.php?id=1141
To date this is the only inn/tavern/hotel that I have found that is not listed in AA Oldham's book and I have been unable to find any other information relating to the hotel.

The Engineers Tavern - Public Houses, Inns and Taverns of Wisbech
This building was once The Engineers Tavern on the junction of Queens Road and Victoria Road, Wisbech. It was documented as still trading in a 1994 CAMRA guide and closed a few years later. The photographer remembers this building being a pub before it was closed and converted into a domestic dwelling. The Railway Tavern was 20 metres to the left.

This building was once The Railway Tavern on the junction of Queens Road and Victoria Road, Wisbech. It was no longer documented as still trading in the 1992 CAMRA guide and probably closed a few years before then.

The Railway Tavern, Victoria Road, Wisbech - Early 1900s
The lady in black is the great great grandmother of Robert Oldershaw (who sent me this photo) and she was the sister of William Albins (1865-1919) who was the “Licensed Victualler” in the early 1900s.
Ogden and Sons were brewers in the nearby town of March; see http://breweryhistory.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ogden_%26_Sons
A photo of the building taken in 2016 can be seen here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4800690
