The Duke of Connaught's Own Club (a military veterans club) was based at the pub 1981-1984, and their own records state that the pub was built in 1784. The local history society wrote that the pub was a Customs House during the Napoleonic Wars, when there was a local smuggling issue. The pub appears to have been demolished in the late 1980s when the street was mostly cleared away for redevelopment.
