Addressed as number 12 in the 1881 census.

The pub closed in early 2010 only to open again in September of that year but alas I am informed that in February 2012 it closed again, rumoured to be converted into  a drop-in centre.

Mind you, looking at the picture of 2020, it still looks like a pub albeit a very dilapidated one.

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
