We know that Mary Monday served here in 1847 and that would have been something like twenty years before the other houses appeared. We are also told that four beer-houses were in the area at the turn of the century. The name conjures up many possibilities. By 1878, it had changed to "Dewdrop" but on the other hand, a certain John Russell was said to be serving at a "British Tar" in 1879.
