The owner, James Hargrave, had the present building constructed in 1888
after demolishing the earlier one and his initials and date can be seen on
the wall below the blind window, also, his name is carved above the side
door in Little Eastgate. In the 1901 Mr Hargrave became seriously ill and
his wife paid for the Queen’s physician to travel from London by train to
attend her husband. He operated on the landlord on the big dining table in
the pub, but Mr Hargrave died six months later. His wife subsequently sold
the business in 1910. |

I lived the first year of my life in
the pub. My grandparents, Ivy and Herbert Dawson, were landlord and landlady
until Herbert became sick and retired. Ivy died in 1941 I think. |
