First mentioned in the Post Office Directory of 1873, the pub does not appear on the 1865 OS Map which suggests it opened between these dates. Acquired by the State Management Scheme in November 1918, no record has yet been found of sale - although it is marked on the 1970 OS Map. This - as I have discovered - means little! Premises are now "Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe" - with whom I have no connection and, while tempted, cannot advise on its products or services.
