Description
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Closed in 1966. The Farmers' Inn was one of a number of pubs that applied for music and singing licences in the early 1930s but were granted a licence restricted 'solely for the use of wireless telephonic apparatus'. This was on the advice of the Chief Constable who felt that the 'constant repition of gramphone records of a jazz order had a tendency to lower the standards!
