An 1830 trade directory lists this as a tavern or public house in "Ruly lane", i.e. Rewley Lane, the proprietor an Elizabeth Bossom. An 1846 trade directory has the pub at Hythe Bridge Street.[1] The pub had not moved. Sometime between 1830 and 1846 Rewley Lane was renamed Hythe Bridge Street.[2]
From 1846 to 1869 a William Bossom is listed as publican,[3] and in 1881 a George Browning; in 1901 the proprietor was Henry Fosters, Licensed Victualler; in 1903 Frederick Shelton, Beer Retailer.[4]
