This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014."
As such I have found a picture of the pub, but to date have no other
information. 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.
