Network Rail are doing their best to reduce the risk of tall vehicles hitting their bridge! The Star on the right was named on the 1850 6" map, and has seen of two competitors. The White Lion between it and the railway bridge closed in 1908 and was demolished before 1940; the land is now part of a garden for a house up the hillside. The Duke of York was beyond the railway bridge, next to the river, and closed in 1927 but was not demolished until after 1940. The site has been landscaped.
