## Inns and Taverns of Brackley

This is a list of pubs, inns and taverns past and **present**. Where the name is followed by (1760) it indicates that it appears on the 1760 map of Brackley.

In 1760 there were over 25 public houses and inns; this had diminished to 14 in 1849 and 9 in 1894.

There are seven public houses in the town surviving from the late 19th and early 20th centuries - two of these are shown on the town plan of 1760, two date to at least 1885, two to 1922 and ‘The Manor’ Free House, formerly the Plummers Arms, appears to have been inserted into a pre-existing house.

## Blacksmiths

The 1850 edition of Slater’s Directory for Northamptonshire (NRO Library 2531) lists
four blacksmiths in Brackley: William Alley, High Street; John Blackwell, Pebble Lane;
Thomas Coles, High Street; and Richard Durrant, High Street. William Alley and Thomas
Coles are listed again in Kelly’s Directory for Northamptonshire for 1854 (NRO Library
810), along with Thomas Blackwell. The latter may be a relation, perhaps a son of John
Blackwell, or the forename may have been recorded incorrectly when the directory was
compiled.
