Hampton Hill High Street is well provided with pubs: 'The Rising Sun', 'The Star', and 'The Bloated Mallard' (formerly known as 'The Duke of Clarence'). All three are among the High Street's older buildings. From the style of the building, my guess was that 'The Star' dates from the 1830's (possibly earlier), but a web-search failed to cast much light on its history - there are even suggestions that it was built as late as 1898. To me, that seems unlikely, but old photographs must exist which would help sort the matter out.
