Travellers Rest Public House, Wideopen
When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1864 there was a Travellers Rest (PH) located on this site although this building appears to be from a much later date. Standing alongside the old Great North Road, this site will have served passing travellers for many many years.
