Full description

A Mackeson/Whitbread inn.
In 1838 this inn was on the Licensing List as Plasterer's Tavern. Bagshaw's Directory listed it as such in 1847 with Elizabeth Church as Innkeeper.
In 1888 this inn was on the list as Princess Louise.
In 1897 this inn was on the list as Model Tavern.
I seem to remember that this was the inn where, about 25 years ago, the innkeeper had a habit of cutting off the end of his customer's ties with scissors and decorating his bar with them. In 2003 it is no longer an inn, but a Daisy Hire shop.
