Pub with no name, Twyning

I have no other details on the licensed premises in Twyning that had no name. The beer and cider licence in 1903 suggests that it was a simple beer house, but the comparatively high rateable value of £28 a year in 1903 indicates a property of some stature. It might have been based in the […]

John Day’s Off-licence (having no name), Twyning GL20 6DQ ?

It is interesting to note that the Abbey Brewery in Tewkesbury, trading as Jupp & Meyer, had three outlets near the village of Twyning. The Fleet Inn was owned by the brewery. Jupp & Meyer also leased the Gardeners Arms (in Puckrup?) and a beer house in Twyning licensed to sell off-sales only. The information […]

New Inn / Village Inn, The Green, Twyning

In 1863 it is documented that Thomas Warner was a brewer in the village of Twyning. Unfortunately I have not been able to identify where he was brewing beer. It could have been at the Fleet Inn, the New Inn (now the Village Inn) or in one of the long closed beer houses in Twyning. It […]

Gardeners Arms, Puckrup ?, Twyning GL20 6EL

There is a Gardeners Cottage at Puckrup (GL20 6EL), which is a small hamlet just off the main A38 Tewkesbury to Worcester road. (Map Reference SO 886366). Puckrup is only a short distance from Twyning – about half a mile to the west. It seems feasible that the residential property was once the Gardeners Arms […]

Fleet Inn, Fleet Lane, Twyning GL20 6DG

The Fleet Inn is a 15th century pub on the banks of the River Avon. The location was a ferry crossing point from one bank to the other. The original ferry was demanded in the court rolls of Henry VIII. The ferry was often used to transport grazing cattle across the River Avon. In the […]

Princes Plume, Tirley Street, Tirley GL19 4HF

Tirley Street is the second turning on the right in the village coming from the Haw Bridge direction. Annie Bayliss was convicted and fined 5/- and £1.11s.6d. for permitting drunkenness on the 11th October 1904. Fred White was convicted and fined 5/- costs for being drunk and disorderly on his own premises on 26th January […]

Beehive Inn, New Pools, Main Road, Tirley GL19 4EU

There is a New Pools Cottage on the main road in Tirley. Map Reference: SO 835286 (approx) I was interested to see your post on the Gloucestershire Pubs and Breweries website about the beer house called Bee Hive at Tirley Knowle and appreciate having the licensing information. I had never noticed it on maps, though it’s […]

Teddington Hands Inn, Evesham Road, Teddington GL20 8NE,

The Teddington Hands, on the junction of the Tewkesbury-Stow on the Wold road and the Cheltenham-Evesham road (A46,A435), is still trading. The address of the pub was originally the Teddington Hands Inn, Stow Road. The modern day address of Evesham Road takes into account that the access to the pub is no longer from the […]
