The Bell; the George and Dragon; the New Inn, the Globe and the Bush. The Bell (the blue building) was first mentioned in 1826 after being put up for sale when Nathaniel Phillips' Haverfordwest Bank collapsed. John Lewis was the landlord. It closed in the 1850's. Next door was the George and Dragon which was run by a Londoner, James Ribbon who was a professor of music. He gave up work as a landlord in the mid 1850's and taught music instead. Next door again was the New Inn. It was run by John Robbin and later his widow Mary who always insisted on proper decorum in the bar. In 1886 the pub was converted into a lodging house. The last pub was the Globe. The licensee in 1826 was a butcher called William Thomas and by 1870 it was run by David Narbett. The Bush was on the corner with Church Lane. It was damaged in a fire in 1864 but survived until the 1890's.
