Changed name to the "Brown Trout" in 1980, as there is a trout reservoir a short distance from the inn.

 

I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.
