The Bush Inn on the corner of Haughton Street (right) and Market Street opened in 1840 and was virtually a country pub which was surrounded by farmland, most of it belonging to the Shepley Family. The first landlord was John Haughton & Haughton Street is named after him. http://hydonian.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/bush-inn-rip.html It closed in 2012 Image and has now been demolished. . I understand the land will be used by the adjacent car dealers Stoneacre Group as an extended car park. On the left is the former rubber works, now Redfern Industrial Estate, its roof festooned with mobile phone masts.
