Shipbourne

In 1891 William Bowyer was a beer retailer at Woodcocks Cider House. However, business must have dropped off because by 1901 he was also a coal merchant. Nevertheless, brewing must have been in his blood because he moved on to become the manager at the "New Inn" and, in 1911, the Haines family took up residence and
renamed the cider house the "Woodcock" public house.
