Originally known as the "Blue Anchor" and traced as far back as 1760, however, 100 years later in 1860 it became the "Huggens Arms." However, the directories seem to keep it listed till 1901, alongside this pub as well.

The pub changed name again to the "Riverside Tavern" in 1975 and I believe it closed in 1976 and was demolished a short time afterwards. The Blue Circle Heritage site now occupies part of this area.
