Come on Walter I'm relying on you....maybe you used to frequent it in the 1800's and partake in a dram or two.....LOL

Sarky ******.
There is no record of a pub on that site in the mid 1800 licence aplications, and a search of the 1911 census, shows a jump in numbers from 58 which is now the Black Horse to number 64 Abbey St. 60 & 62 are missing. I need a persons name to search any of the previous census records, as there is no facility to search by street name in them.
