In April 1909 the population was given as 867 and the acreage
as 988.
There were 7 full licenses and 1 grocers' licence. It was considered that 4 full
licenses and one grocers' licence would be ample to provide the wants of this
small community.
Houses open at that time were the Black Lion, Bull, Crown, Kings Head, Oxford
Stores, Railway Tavern (High Street), Robin Hood. (7 houses). However the
report goes on to say that it is the licence of the High Street Railway Tavern,
NOT that of the Railway Tavern near the station, that should be included with
the Crown and Oxford Stores for certain closure. No other record has been found of a
second Railway Tavern and the numbers above do not allow for a separate licence.
