Pub shown as building at end of street pointing left on the right side. Date unknown.

 

I am informed that the pub had closed and was pulled down in 1975.

In 1972 the pub was captured in a screen shot of a film called the Ragman's Daughter, the story of a dairy worker who is a petty thief. He reminisces about his youth when he met, and fell for, a ragman’s daughter.
