There are no pictures on Leodis of Seventh Avenue. This is the nearest I could find, showing the junction of Eighteenth Avenue and Eighth Avenue (to the right) in 1935. Seventh would have been the next street up from here, out of view, and the cemetery is just behind the semi-detached houses on Eighteenth Avenue. I can't see many (any?) pubs on the section of map I posted, but Liits or Drapesy might be able to give you a list of the nearest pubs to this area.

The only nearby pub I can see on the 1906 Godfrey map is at the junction of Tong Road and Wellington Road. The footprints are not identical, and the style of the extant building is probably too modern, but the name may have transferred. Maybe Liits can help? Edited following Liits' post below.

There was a pub on Oak Road, the Oak, at the North end, so off the map. Also off map,further down Wellington Road , at junction with Bruce street was the Royal George
