Duxford Village 2 - Lost Pubs

There is an excellent website that details the decline of the Englsih Pub - The Lost Pubs Project (https://www.closedpubs.co.uk/). I thought it would be a good idea to look into this for Duxford - time for a walk round the village and up to Whittlesfod Parkway station to see what is listed below....

After consulting the website and then that for the Duxford Parish Council, it appears that in 1900 there were eight places that supplied alcohol to the village of Duxford.
There were:

- four public houses: The Red Lion, The King’s Head, The Three Horseshoes and The Plough
The Red Lion is now The Red Lion Hotel, but has been part of Whittlesford Parish since 2010 due to a boundary change
The King's Head and The Three Horseshoes are now privately owned residences
The Plough is still active as a Public House (for picture, see "Duxford - Village" FindPenguins entry)

- four beer houses: The Wheatsheaf, The Flowerpot, The Butcher’s Arms and The John Barleycorn (beer houses were set up from earlier in the 19th century to provide beer, regarded as healthy and nutritious at the time, to the working population)
The Wheatsheaf is now closed and trading as Graystones Cafe Deli & Bistro, since Spring 2018
The Flowerpot and The Butcher's Arms are now privately owned residences
The John Barleycorn is still active - as a Public House now (for picture, see "Duxford - Village" FindPenguins entry)Okumaya devam et
