The original pub was built in 1844 by the Stoneham family in at the end
of a row of six farm labourers' cottages called Poplar Place. The building
was later extended by taking over the adjacent cottage. This building was
subsequently demolished in 1958 and rebuilt a bit further back from the road
to provide space for a car park in the front.
