duckweed Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was taking photos the other day and saw on the wall it says in business since 1700. The listed status says it is Victorian yet I note there was a publican there in 1830 which makes it Georgian at the very least. Unless it was knocked down and rebuilt after 1837. Any ideas to its real age. Also why is it built so thin? What buildings were there before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckweed Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Such a peculiar shape. Often odd narrow buildings are following an older medieval layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckweed Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Found an earlier reference John Hide in 1797. So unless they rebuilt the pub that puts it very firmly in Georgian but still a long way from 1700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
