This old flint building, 126 London road, at one time a private house, was built in the early part of the 19c. Mr H Tucknutt occupied it for more than 20 years up to 1880, as a greengrocer’s shop. In 1881 Eliza Walls who combined the business of a greengrocer with that of beer retailer succeeded him! The following year she must have decided that beer paid better than vegetables because it was a beer house only and it remained a public house ever since.
The photograph dates from 1923 and the premises were reconstructed in their present form in 1929.
