The 16th century inn below the railway viaduct at Little Bytham was originally known as the Green Man but because of widespread public interest in the unbeaten steam engine record set up in 1938, it was changed to the Mallard in 1975 to remember the famous locomotive which reached 126 mph on this stretch of line. The viaduct is still in use and inter-city express rather than steam trains now thunder past while the public house was closed in 2002 and is now a private residence. See also Image
