More about this scene
This is taken from the 'tongues' in the middle of the River Brett, adjacent to the two 18th-century hump-backed bridges. The Peacock is early 15th-century. The shop, which closed in 1977, was in the gable wing. The beerhouse and shop were run together; the former was called the Peacock after the mother of the two sisters who sold it to the brewery.

I remember the 1980's & early 1990's when Tony & Lorna Marsh the Peacock Inn's owners had jazz bands playing in the back bar on Friday evenings . I snapped some photos of Stan Tracey sitting on telephone directories to gain the best height to play an old upright piano. It was party night every Friday and the audience came from quite a distance to enjoy the evening.
