Described as a Public-house and Spirit Shop when offered for sale by
auction, Friday, 11th October 1844. Situated at the top of Middle Street,
lately occupied by William Dunn, containing spirit shop, porter room,
parlour, club room, 3 bed rooms, large cellar, back yard and convenient
offices.
Advertised 18th September 1852 to be Sold by Auction.
There was an objection to licence renewal at the 1905 sessions on the grounds that the
back door opened into an enclosed passage.
The matter was held over to the adjourned sessions held 9th February 1905
where the matter was amicably
settled.
Bullards records show that the house closed before
October 1961.
A note dated 11th August 1961 states that trading had temporarily been discontinued by reason of
Compulsory acquisition.
