This house was a public one. It started life under the control of Arnold, Perrett & Co. Ltd. That company was founded originally as Thomas Arnold, a Gloucestershire brewer in 1800. After merging with H. & A. Perrett’s Bournstream Brewery of Wotton-under-Edge in 1887 the firm later merged again in 1924 with the Cheltenham Original Brewery Co. Ltd. You can still make out the painted, faded sign above the arched entrance. The pub eventually stopped pulling pints in 1968 and the building converted to residential use.
