Plough Inn, Wotton Road

The Plough Inn had an annual rateable value of £17.0s.0d. in 1891 but this had increased to £37.10s.0d. in 1903 when it closed at 10 p.m. The original Plough Inn was about 100 yards behind the existing pub which probably explains the discrepancies between the rates. The existing Plough Inn, however, was built in 1824. The 'old' pub is now a cottage. The Plough called last orders for the last time in the Summer of 2003.

Railway Tavern, Wotton Road GL12 8SR

It was built in the mid 1800's and was situated next to the railway station on the Bristol to Gloucester (Midland Railway) line. It was refurbished by Pubmaster in February 2000 and extended into the former flower shop which was under the same roof as the Railway Tavern. On October 13th 1928 there was an horrific train crash involving three trains when at least fourteen people lost their lives. The pub was used as a temporary mortuary. The 'Dursley Gazette' reported on October 20th 1928 that 'later on Saturday morning the dead bodies and charred remains were placed in an old coach-house at the Railway Tavern and throughout the weekend sorrowing relatives and friends paid visits to this tragic building to make what, alas, often proved to be unavailing search for clues to identity’. The present day pub sign shows an artists impression of a LMS Royal Scot class engine which has been elongated and has somehow acquired American style cow-catchers!

CROMHALL

Closed c.1890. There was an incident when the pumping gear on the last coal mine in the village was destroyed by miners who had been drinking at the Hunters Hall. The building still stands and is now a private house.

Royal Oak , Bibstone GL12 8AD

The Royal Oak is located just to the north of Cromhall at Bibstone. The 14th century inn is still trading. It has a 70 foot well in the middle of the bar area which was originally in the courtyard - when the pub was extended it became a focal point inside. The modern extension has obscured the original building.

White Horse

Arnold Perrett & Co's Wickwar Ales had a monopoly in the small village of Cromhall - all the pubs sold Wickwar Ales. Looking at the name of the landlord I cannot help wondering if he had a friend! The pub was near the village green. In 1963 the post and hinge for the pub sign was still in situ. The White Horse was eventually demolished in the early 1970's and a modern house now occupies the spot.

The 'new’ name refers to the name of a field at the back of the village. The owner of the field levied a toll because it straddled a highway. Another local story is that the nearby Dinneywicks Hill was a burial ground for horses in the English Civil War.

White Lion Hotel, 51 Long Street , GL12 7BX - Website

The facade of the White Lion was substantially rebuilt at the beginning of the last century by Arnold Perrett & Co. The original pub was a plain rendered building but was replaced by a more ornate brick built facade. For many years it was tied to the Cheltenham Original Brewery. At the time of King George V Jubilee in 1935 an old photograph shows it to have its own petrol pump within the brick arch which was once used as the entrance to the stables. It is now owned by the Pubmaster group. It is possible that the White Lion once brewed its own beer and perhaps the brewhouse still stands to the rear of the pub but this has to be confirmed.
