The Nags Head Beerhouse: site in Dines Close, Wilshamstead
The countywide licensing register of 1876 states that the beerhouse was first licensed in 1862 and belonged to a Biggleswade brewer.
This date may not be accurate or may refer only to the most recent change in licence as a schedule of deeds states that in 1837 the premises was conveyed by James Weston to Hogg and Lindsell.
These last two were William Hogg and Robert Burton Lindsell who ran the Biggleswade brewery they had inherited from their father-in-law , son of the man who had established the business in the mid 18th century.
This would mean that the property was owned by the brewery for twenty four years before becoming a licensed property, which seems unlikely.
The Nag's Head closed for the last time on 21st December 1907.
