Licence referred to Compensation 26th February 1909.

At the licensing session held Friday 5th March 1909 it was said that the BULL was opposite, 132 paces to the north was the LORD NELSON, 50 paces to the south was the GREEN MAN and 14 paces further there was the GREYHOUND, all of which were offering better accommodation and more useful to the locality.
The licensee, Mr. Jacobs said that he would not have taken the house on if he had been made aware of its impending closure. He had wanted to carry on the trade of blacksmith, but the premises had no provision for that trade.
Licence again referred to Compensation.
