A local place-name for a pub which, apart from a listing in Pigot's 1928 directory, only appears twice in newspapers - both advertising the pub up for auction in September 1830, and stating "late known by the sign of the "WAGGON AND HORSES", and now called the FOLESHILL TAVERN . . . in the occupation of Mr. REES. By 1835 the name appears to have reverted to the OLD WAGGON AND HORSES under the new tenancy of Edward Wall.
