This pub was run by my grandfather and his wife around about 1910. They were John Percy Kingston and his wife Maggie Lizzy.. There were tales of many local characters who came into the pub . I believe the pub let rooms for the night and sported a sign at that time advertising 'Accommodation for Motorists'.
