> By the way, no pubs left, Chris W., and many cottages gone. I think, from > memory, the Cemetery Lodge was lost in a fire which also destroyed the > records of the old part of the cemetery. Those for the new part survive. According to Mark Sturley's book "Breweries and Public Houses of Guildford":- The Wheatsheaf, Mount St - last recorded occupant was William Jeffree GERRARD 1945 to 1955 and then it was closed down. Became used as business premises. "The Barley Mow, Mount St - The last known occupant is given as Mrs G BUCKLE in 1901 and it was said - from memory of an elderly resident (Allen Batchelor) - to have been closed down by 1908. I suspect Allen Batchelor is connected to my family but have never been able to prove it. Ann

Is there any historical info either on the web or elsewhere about pubs in Kingston? (Since this list had pubs as its monthly topic in Jan 2007, when I made a query about my 2x greatgrandfather Charles CHADWICK, I've found out that he was the landlord of the King's Arms in Lion Gate, next to Hampton Court Palace, during the 1790s. They have a web page, but with minimal info.)

The archive there also has other documents and photos so you may strike lucky. Ann
