I do not know where this name came from.
In the early years of the twentieth century, Barras Green was an isolated hamlet consisting of the Red Horse Inn and a few cottages. At that time the pub had a football team called 'Stoke Athletic' and the changing room was the pub. From 1845 to 1868 this was called the OLD RED HOUSE in the directories. Was this a mistake?
In 1982 it was said the pub 'was once a typical Watney pub, now redecorated in any colour but red'. | |||
