I'm wondering if anyone is alerted when I reply to this thread, as I see it's around 10 years old... I can only hope.
I've just been doing some Family tree research, and found that my Great, Great, Great Grandparents actually owned this pub at the time mentioned.
The links to the photos of the Pub no longer work, is someone able to provide them please, it would be amazing to see.
In the census information I've found for 1861, It looks as though John Simpson (My Ancestor) has written the name of the pub as 'Hark into Blue Cap', but I'm guessing that any photographs may disprove that.
My email address is
(*) if anyone has any further information about this.
Thank you
Dave
