At some time before 1770's the RED LION, Lion Yard, Quay, was known as the ROYAL OAK.
This house seems to have been established at a much later time.

Exactly when this property in Burnt Street became a beerhouse has yet to be identified.

~

Offered for sale by auction 22nd July 1878 as a freehold beerhouse.

~

Owing to the death of C. Miller, co-partner in Elijah Eyre Breweries, offered for sale again 28th February 1879, `that messuage or dwelling house, with barn, stables, and other buildings, yard, gardens and land belonging...... total of 19 perches.....'
Sold for £250 to other directors of Elijah Eyres.
The sales contract listed the current occupant as Charles Wharf and named previous parties from Mr. Houghton to Mr. Clarke, who were probably owners rather than licensees.
Mrs. Bunting is identified as running a beerhouse in Burnt Street in the 1860's, which is almost certainly this house.

Described in 1895, when again offered for sale, as a shop, formerly the ROYAL OAK, but still owned by Elijah Eyres.
