THE OLD SHIP INN, SALTFORD HILL, in the early 1950s. This was also the post office when Joseph Broadhurst was publican (1821-57), when Oliver Ollis took over (until 1867) and then Samuel Bruce (until 1894). The post office then moved to Saltford High Street. The Inn ceased to sell liquor in 1893. The building is now undergoing restoration. The earliest known landlord was William Allen in 1748. A brewhouse and stabling for 17 horses adjoined the Inn. These are now attractive cottages. |
