At a time when many beerhouses and pubs were being closed under the Compensation Act, the only way to entice the magistrates was to build a more sumptuous pub and have licences transferred from one or two of the condemned ones. Having the tag ‘hotel’ would also help. The Tudor was built circa 1900 (photo above courtesy of Everards).
Once again, a pub that was the hive of the community faced an uncertain future by 2017, as changing dynamics in the area, a slump in trade, and drinking habits turned on its head from the past twenty-five years. The Tudor mainly survived on a busy local trade with a good pint. Tudor Road is not so easily accessible: it would be a shame to see it go but not surprising.
