If someone doesn't enlighten you as a result of the above posting call in the pub next time you are near. I've been quite surprised over the years at how many older pubs have a notice (often attached to an old photo) that gives a very brief history of the pub. If such a notice is not obvious ask the landlord. A proper landlord will usually know the pubs history although unfortunately modern business practices have tended to replace proper landlords with managers who tend to know only what the course taught them.
