YES WILLOW!It does but i am still not convinced that what is now the front was always the front!would like more information on this one!

So would I. How about the cellar? Have you got any deeds that give a clue when the cellar was created?

I'd like to find other old pubs and see if they have cellars and which direction they face. I'm sure I've seen old films where barrels were kept in cellars.

The only pub I know of that had a cellar that I personally witnessed was the Brigade in Abbey st. As a kid I was down there one day when barrells were delivered through the opening on the footpath to the cellar below. My grandparents owned the pub. Holgate was the name. In the 50's.

have been studying this for some time now tea and i think your explanation might be wrong?have a look at the attachments of the original beams in the loft,these are in the rear part of the stag. the ones at the front are boring so didnt take any piccies.

Love the photos Staggers. Those beams certainly look well aged.

the first piccie is the bottom end of the stag showing the chimmney breast upstairs in a bedroom the other 3 are from behind a wall downstairs.

staggeringman · 07-09-2005, 16:26

the first picture is from what is the front of the stag,notice the windows how big they are(yes the could have been modified)but in the second picture look at the down stairs window, that looks more original than the others.

So do you mean this is evidence that that bit is older than the other bit?

staggeringman · 08-09-2005, 00:34

i would say so willow but thats my opinion, the front of the stag as it stands is an add on. the rear of the building is ancient hence the beams that hold the roof up, would love to know more and will keep delving.

WillowTheWhisp · 08-09-2005, 07:30

That back end isn't as high either which indicates it could be older because older buildings tended to be smaller didn't they? Mind you, having said that I know of buildings with taller fronts than backs but the whole thing was built at the same time.

What's it like where the two parts join?
