49 London Road (Buckland Street)

Its name was derived from the milestone which stood outside. It was fully licensed, served George Beer and was established by 1861.

It was considered surplus to requirements in 1910. The "Crown" stood nearby.

Not in its favour either was the fact that the licence had changed hands six times in eight years. The Quarter Sessions in July that year thought likewise and the licence was surrendered.

£771 was awarded to George Beer and Company and £50 to the tenant. It then became a private residence and later a shop.
