A former Eldridge Pope pub converted to three shops and offices in 1989. The offices became flats in 2010. In 1842 and 1844 directories William Harris is listed as a beer retailer in South street and in 1851 and 1855 at New Inn. I don't know if it closed for a period but in Kelly's 1889 and 1895 directories I can find no mention of New Inn or 27 or 28 South Street. Other directory entries include, 1859 Edward Wortley, 1875 William Darch (also coal merchant), 1911 Mrs Mary Jane Banks, 1915 Walter Billett and more recently Bill Trueman.
