Title: "DIXIE INN ", Horninglow
Post by: carol o on Wednesday 12 July 06 19:49 BST (UK)

1891 and 1901 censuses have

 Thomas and Anna Hammond  beer house keepers at
 
 Dixie Inn, 21, Hawkins Lane,Horninglow,Burton on Trent.

Does anyone have any information on this Inn? Is it still standing or any other information about Inn or the people ???

 Anna was my grandfather James Simpson cousin ;D Well I think that's the connection ;D

Any help appreciated as I do not know what became of them
 Thanks Carol

Hi,

I live in Burton on Trent and Hawkins Lane is now mainly industrial units. There are certainly no houses or pubs down there.   I did find this http://www.biffo.net/history/pubsaz.htm which indicates that it was still in use in 1911.

Hope this helps?

Hi Carol

I can tell you that there were houses in Hawkins Lane in 1957 as I lived there with mum and dad at 226 Hawkins Lane. Mum said we lived there for less than a year - dad worked on the railways and I think that maybe they owned some of the houses in Hawkins Lane. Perhaps the reason we moved was because they were going to pull the housese down?

Cheers

Lilian

Thanks for that information Lillian. I have not looked at this part of family for a long time now but you have now renewed my interest. I will have to try the 1911 census when I have some spare cash ( xmas is coming.......) and see if I can find them again. Cheers Carol
