Research tells me that from a photograph taken in January 1944, that the pub was damaged from a nearby bomb blast, unfortunately I haven't been able to trace it yet, it shows the pub with smashed windows.

I am informed that this pub unfortunately closed some time after 1983 and before 1985. After closing as a public house it was a restaurant and tea rooms for a short time, but eventually closed for good and became a private residence.

Local knowledge and photographs needed to help assist me with this project.
