Written by HFM News on 10th December 2020
A lock-down sort out at a pub in Welford has unearthed a document dating back 129 years.
It details a valuation that took place at The George Hotel – the former name for The Wharf Inn – on October 12th 1891.
Landlady Anna Raven found the handwritten inventory, which is in near pristine condition, behind a bureau in an upstairs office.
The valuation totalled £329.72
Anna told Hfm some of what is listed and why the name mentioned on it ‘Gilbert’ is significant:
