The Salutation was situated at 20 High Street. This pub has now been converted to a private house.
William Scruby sold the Salutation at auction in 1849 to Bedford brewer William Joseph Nash, at which time it was described as an old established free public house comprising: a parlour; a large tap room with a bay window; a smoking room with bar; a large pantry; cellarage; seven bedrooms; a kitchen and brewhouse; a yard; a pump and well; a wood barn and long range of piggeries and outhouses; a corn barn; a coach house and loose box; a four stalled stable; a skittle ground and "a very nice garden". The premises are described as "partly recently erected". After Nash's death in 1884 his widow Susan carried on the business, going into partnership with William Pritzler Newland in 1890 as Newland & Nash. This firm was bought out in 1922 by Biggleswade brewers Wells & Winch who merged with Suffolk brewers Greene King in 1961.
