The Horse & Panniers was a late 17th or early 18th century
grade-II listed former pub. Perhaps originally a farmhouse but formerly the
Horse and Panniers public house. Known locally as the 'Nag and Bag' in May
2004 it was reported as 'just re-opened then in May 2009 a picture appears
of 'the new landlord' and by September 2011 was re-opened again after an 18
month closure. The pub was for sale in late 2012 and then the building was
for sale in 2014 as a development project. Directory entries for Horse and
Panniers include; 1846-1858 Mrs Hannah Walker; 1861-1877 Edward Walker (&
baker); 1880-1881 Mrs Jane Walker; 1891-1899 Richard Chapman; 1908-1912
Ernest Cole; 1916 Henry Gandy. (My directories before 1846 don't include the
Luffenhams). |

I remember drinking there in the 1970s
with a friend who lived in NL. It was a Ruddles pub (like many in Rutland in
those days). It had a mechanical darts scoring machine that you dialled in
your score and it subtracted it from the remaining score. A system of dials
that looked like the old-style telephones. |
