Looked all over the front and side faces of the pub, but no sign. Mystic is right - the 1883 map shows the Crooked Billet about 500 metres W of it's current site and N of the main road at TQ 015 827. Then again, shouldn't the grid reference be where the FB is, or was, not where the pub would later be??!

Suspect current Crooked Billet is not on same site as during Levelling. Could not find pub shown on old map on opposite side of main road.Aug 05
