There was another rebuild in around 1937. Bill Lindfield recalls in his book: 'On the opposite side of the road from the lane to Decoy stood the old pub, the Marquis of Granby. There stand a pub of that name today on the same area but standing back a bit from the road. It was 1937
when the old one gave over its space to the new. The old one was an
Inn and really dealt with the traveller. It had wooden steps to its
front door while along its frontage were the rings where the
travellers and the carters could tie their charges whilst they took
to the beverages of mine host.' |
