One of the more enduring public houses in Bourne is the Nag's Head which has a prominent position in the town centre where it has been in business for over two centuries. The exterior of this building is largely unchanged since it was erected in the yellow brick and blue slate much favoured by builders of the period and appears to have assumed the name the Nag's Head Hotel that was discarded by the Angel around 1800 although this has been shortened in recent years to just the Nag's Head, a name that reflects the Englishman's affection for the horse in this agricultural community although it has been interpreted in some districts as a shrewish wife.
