Tilly,
The pub (now closed) on Castle View has had various names, but for the period 1860-1900 it was called the
'Old Castle'. From Trade Directories there were 6 landlords during that period -
1861-64 Thomas Addison
1864-81 Mrs. Elizabeth Stevenson
1882-84 Benjamin Walker
1885-92 Charles Pilgrim
1895-98 John R. Dean
1898-99 Jas. Cooper Beaumont
I have no information as to which of these had been a bargee, but if interested, you can find an
information sheet (which includes photographs) of this and many hundreds of The Past And Present Pubs Of
Leicestershire And Rutland on my website at
