The Stag Inn sat on Hodge Lane, roughly on the corner with where Athole Street is today, from the 1850s until 1968 [1]. Groves & Whitnall owned the pub and the house next door and they clearly rebuilt it at some point, complete with their distinctive white tiling.

I believe my great uncle Henry Buck and his wife Ada ran this pub in 1939. I understand that an insendary bomb landed down their chimney and landed on their bed! They were badly shocked but not injured. Jean
