The Arch where there is now
a window was the way through to the yard. When Bob Wilson retired
and the Brewery discovered what a potentially good pub they owned,
they put in for planning permission, which was granted, to lower the
roof by about a storey and to incorporate the carriage entry into
the pub. This must have been in the early 80s very soon after the
photo (1979 below) was taken.
