Lost pubs in Burnham
« on: Saturday 31 March 18 15:03 BST (UK) »
I recently stumbled across a listing of all the pubs in Bucks in 1872. This includes 29 pubs in Burnham (encompassing Cippenham)!
The Pubshistory site provides some clues (as indicated below) as to where some of these were located but can anyone offer more information?

While I can identify many of these from local knowledge and a previous thread on here about the Alma and the Grenville Arms I am at a loss to identify the following



Boot   High Street
Brickmakers'  Arms   Church Street? (two are listed but pubhistory has a Bricklayers Arms in Church Street)
Dropmore Inn   
Jolly Gardener   
New Inn   Dropmore
One Mile House   Bath Road,
Rose And Crown   High Street
Three Horse Shoes   
The Feathers   High Street

In addition two of the pubs are unamed with licensees JH Jarret and Alfred Heald

The Feathers is still there,  sort of opposite Cliveden. First licensed in 1870 according to their website so whether that is the one in the article....
The Brickmakers Arms is on Lent Rise Road.

Hi bucksboy,
                   There is a site called lost pubs, if you look here you can search by town, also there are photos of some pubs which  can be added to at any time.
i have added a few in Kent, so maybe you will find some information here.
regards John :)

Cannot access the 1872 beeerhouse list - so if I am duplicating entries already known my apologies.

On line newspapers are often a good source for pub info. The are several mentions of the "Dropmore Inn, Littleworth Common". Checking old maps I can see a Jolly Woodman, Littleworth Common marked - but not the Dropmore.

The New Inn was in the High Street - "83 yards from the Red Lion". The 1908 newspaper article is about there being too many pubs in the locale and a challenge being made to renew the New Inn's Licence. The landlady in 1899 is a Mrs Alice June  Montgomery but the 1901 census entry for her ("a licensed victualler") doesn't identify the house number.

There's a "BH" (Beer House??) marked on Littleworth Common - the "Dropmore" possibly?

The address of "John Hatch, publican" on the 1881 Census is given as "Mile House (Horse and Groom)".
