The White Hart Inn : - There was some speculation from local feedback, during my researches in the mid 1980's, as to the existance of a
9th Pub in Blunham and upon further investigation , I found
there was a White Hart Inn - (Beerhouse ? ) . It
was somewhere in Blunham but to date the excact location still remains a mystery. Now , with hindsight (a unique talent to have) - I could have said at
the time , "where abouts was it ? " - The tenants as recorded were a
William Astell and son
Richard (c1737) , as mentioned in the Luton & Bedford archives :
Ref - PM2846 . Also see my refs -
The Wheatsheaf - or ref 12/
Misc & Mash - for Alehouse / Beerhouse origin.
The White Hart Pub, old site in nearby Gt. Barford village is just a mile away and also researched, but no match on names was found here. Thirsty workers 'could' have done a mile walk, or Pony & Trap, also some Blunham fields nearly reach the river Gt. Ouse at Gt. Barford and their old White Hart site. - (22/05/21)
