I believe the pub was also referred to as the "Brickmaker's Arms" between 1871 and 1883.

Bricklayers Arms.

This Holborough Road pub closed back in January 1974, and is now residential housing, however it spent over a century as a beerhouse.

In 1871, the pub was named The Brickmakers Arms, and a man named William Moore was recorded as a bricklayer and beerseller at the location. His family had been living in the building for some time already.

The name changed to The Bricklayers Arms in 1883, shortly after William's son Arthur succeeded him as landlord in 1882. Arthur had previously been a butcher and by 1891 he was a butcher at Prospect Place, in the same road.

Alban Burgess, former landlord of the "Monk's Head," moved to the Bricklayers Arms in 1893, and was succeeded at his death in 1916 by his widow, Emma Burgess, and then his son, Frank.
