The Hare and Hounds opened in 1829, at which time the street was still known by its original name, High Street. To 1923 this is known to have been a home brew pub. Note the longevity of the Hewitt family - 73 years in charge in total!
It closed on 17th January 1965. This name is an obvious reference to hunting. | |||
