The brick house with the glass above the front door with the inscription "The Compasses" was a public house, certainly in the 1890s according to business registers,and possibly later. The other pub in the village, "The Black Dog", is now closed and has been up for sale all year. The white painted building next to "The Compasses" is unusual as it is built right out to the pavement edge with the footpath going under the first storey.
