The pub changed name to the "Windmill Inn" around about 2008.

 

This is the watering house of former England footballer Neil 'Razor' Ruddock whose elder brother played for their football team.

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
