My Granddad Jimmy Deans was Landlord of this pub in the 1940s . He also ran the Blacksmiths shop adjoining the pub hence the pub's name . I also know that his father my great grand father was Landlord the Rising Sun near Sutton St James in Lincolnshire. When I was a very young boy my Grandad gave me the only Soulbys Brewery crested half pint glass he had kept . I still 55 years later have that glass .
