Traced to as early as 1850 but closed in the 2000s and is now a private
residence called "Creek House."
Caitlin Doyle tells me the following:- "The building in the photo is near
the "Albion Tavern." The road
that it's on is more commonly known as the Upper Brents. I think on some
maps this road is also called Church Road."
Now being used as two residential premises, one called Creek House and
the other Willow Tap Cottage.

I will be adding further information as time allows, but with my site
getting ever larger, time spent on each pub is being watered down
unfortunately. Your information, photos, old or new and licensee names and
dates is much appreciated.
