My mother took several pictures of both the tavern and of the old brewery building and horse barns when she was visiting relatives in England in 1985 or 87. The family of my great grandparents (Kent) apparently owned the tavern etc, but two of the brothers, Robert and Thomas, sold their interests to two other brothers, and with the money, came to Canada. The date would have likely been somewhere around 1880 as they came to Canada in 1881.
