Goods were carried all over the country by horse-drawn wagons before the advent of the railways. Many inns acted as agents and goods could be left there for sending onwards or for collection by the local people to whom they were addressed. Even after the arrival of the railways, wagons and horses continued to be a familiar sight in most areas as they carried goods or farm produce for short distances. In 1913 this pub was leased by Phillips and Marriott for £30 per annum. They purchased it c1914 for £1775 for the pub and one cottage with a further £120 for a second cottage. In 1929 the license was transferred to the Clarence Tavern, Earlsdon, whilst the license of the Victoria Vaults in Victoria Street was surrendered to facilitate this transfer. |
