The Household Furniture and other Effects of Mr. F. A. Baldrey were Sold by Auction, without reserve, Thursday, 2nd January 1902.
The sale included 19 pigs and One Ton Magnum Bonum and Up-to-date Potatoes, plus about 3 Acres of Swedish Turnips.

According to local knowledge the house closed in late 1940's, however the house is last mentioned in the trade directory of 1929.

Motor Engineer, George Howard junior advised that he had commenced business at the Greyhound Inn, Friday, 27th April 1928.
"Any repairs promptly executed".

At Sessions held Monday, 4th March 1929, the police applied for refusal of licence on the grounds of redundancy. P.c. Runacres had made 31 visits to the house, and on 21 midday opening hours he found nobody there. During 10 evening visits he found four people in the house, once three, and once two. On other occasions no persons were there. The tenant had been there for 20 years and only held a six day licence.
The magistrates refused to refer the licence for compensation saying the house was required by the parish.

 

 



Licence was held to 4th February 1963, when it was not renewed.
