Believed to have commenced trading in 1854 when Thomas Butters opened up a room in his
farmhouse. ( He is recorded by White as being at Walpole St. Andrew in 1854 ).Location
given as on the road north of Neeps Bridge.
The 1901 census gives location as Butters Row.
Transferred from the parish of Walpole St. Andrew to Marshland St. James.
Undated note in Licence Register states ``No sales taking place''.
A 1941 newspaper article reported that William Green had allowed the
licence to lapse in October of that year.
It seems that the house was closed for the duration of WWII.
