Above photo, 1912. Kindly sent by Rory Kehoe. The note records this photo as having been taken from the Barge, Wittersham in February 1912. The winter of 1911/12 saw a lot of severe flooding, especially in the eastern part of England, with East Anglia being particularly badly affected.

Above photo date unknown, kindly sent by Debi Birkin, showing the "Barge Inn" now known as Barge Cottage.

Above map 1913.

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.

First seen with this name in the 1881 census.
