The Elephant and Castle Beerhouse: 49 Cotton End Road, Wilshamstead
The countywide licensing register of 1876 states that the Elephant and Castle was first licensed in 1848.
The countywide licensing register of 1903 states that the Elephant and Castle was in a fair state of repair.
It was also clean and “apparently sanitary”.
Accommodation comprised a tap room, a cellar and a club room; private accommodation being a parlour, a kitchen, living room and four bedrooms upstairs.
An old stable, a garage and a store room all lay outside.
By 1976 the Elephant and Castle had closed because it is not included in the licensing register.
The former beerhouse is now an attractive private residence.
