Old pubs in Newport
« on: Saturday 06 March 21 15:06 GMT (UK) »
Hello, can anyone tell me if there used to be a pub on Elephants Green in Newport please? I'm thinking in the 1960s.
Thank you,
Christine.

From doing a search this comes up

Old Elephant also known as Border Cottage formerly Rookery House and

This pub is permanently closed, no idea of closure date.

One of two places in Newport that were called The Elephant.

Further searches may come up with more information but sorry I don't know what decade this refers to.
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Thank you for your reply milliepede, it gives me some more to go on. The pub I remember was just across a small green, which if I remember right , had a red phone box on it. The pub itself was just a one bar pub, but for the life of me I can't remember it name. This was in 1965/66 .
