The Black Dog, Whitefriars Street c1960.
The Black Dog ceased to be a pub in 1923. To the right of it was another pair of weavers houses with an entry in-between which led to Court No.3.
This was also a BEERHOUSE between 1835 and 1850.
This pub appears in the will of 1869 of J. Edwards. In a footnote it states that J. Edwards kept the Black Dove in Whitefriars Street in 1850. We believe this is an error for the Black Dog.
Although the pub closed on the 18th February 1913, it is said that the Black Dog Inn sign could still be seen until the mid 1970s.The 'Black Dog of Arden' was Guy Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in the early fourteenth century. He was one of those who plotted to kill Pier Gaveston, favourite of Edward II, in 1312. There is also a Black Dog in Southam. | |||
