This is quite a popular pub name. It is a pun, Dew Drop Inn meaning 'do drop in'.
The name changed from the PEEPING TOM in c1876. In 1879 St. Michael's bell ringers are reported to have adjourned to the house of Mr Horsfall, the steeple keeper, the Dew Drop, Bull Ring, for refreshments.
In 1881 it was owned by Thomas Henry White and in 1890 it was purchased by Phipps of Northampton. They bought the Dew Drop and the shop and house adjoining for £650 in 1890 from Messrs Edors. It closed c1912. | |||
