Closed Pubs: In 1943 a 250kg bomb from a German bombing raid landed on the town and lodged in the wall of the Falkland Arms, fortunately failing to explode. Treat as 1943 presence evidence for the pub at Bartholomew Street, not as a closure or structural end date. Picture credit on that page: Chris Culley.
