The Lamb Inn Newborough

GG Grandfather Thomas Philips states he is the publican of The Lamb on 1861 census, would anyone have any old photo's of the place?

Hi,  I am assuming that this is Newborough, near Burton-on-Trent.  There were at least 6 pubs in the village and the following attachment is a history of the village and does mention these pubs, but there does not seem to be one called The Lamb.  It may help you to narrow down which building this pub was in.

The pamphlet is a very interesting read.  There was a pub called the Shoulder of Mutton and in White's Directory in 1851 the landlord was William Collier.  Apart from that there were two beerhouses one run by William Bradley and the other Isaac Woodings.

Hope this helps and good luck.

You may need to go into the village website first - newboroughvillage.co.uk - then look down the left-hand side to see the link to the book download

Perhaps the local library could assist you. Wikipeadia says Newborough had 3 public houses - The White Hart, The Buffalo and The Red Lion but there were other ale houses. The Red Lion continues its trade to this day, but the present day All Saints church stands on the site of the White Hart. The Buffalo is now a residential home of the same name, and houses now stand on the old car park.
1861 Census doesn't indicate a street where the Lamb was

Why not try the local studies library for the area....they may have some old maps of Newborough.

I live in New Zealand so don't expect my library to have those maps!!
