Take a look at what Hungerford have done to preserve and publish for everybody to see with their Virtual Museum.

It just makes Newbury a bit of a joke as the only pictorial history is more or less what is posted on this site.]]> Sat, 7 Aug 2010 17:18:41 brian <![CDATA[Newbury Pubs that are no more - The Greyhound.]]> http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1280920500/ http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1280920500/#num1
Quoted from Uncle
funny?...no-one has mentioned the Greyhound Inn.....I cant be that old,surely?




The Greyhound was demolished in the early sixties to make way for the world famous Robin Hood Roundabout. This photograph was taken in 1962]]> Wed, 4 Aug 2010 12:15:00 Administrator <![CDATA[Newbury Pubs That Are No More...]]> http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1280223127/ http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1280223127/#num1
One I know has long gone is The Dragon at Frilsham, no idea when it closed, must be many decades.

Our Great-great-grandparents, Thomas Mountford and Eliza Mayers were married in St Mary Church January 24, 1852. The certified copy of their Marriage Certificate we have says Speenhamland, but the family Bible says St Mary, Ashmore, Thatcham.

In 1852 was there a St Mary at Ashmore? Is the St Nicholas Newbury and St Mary Speenhamland, Newbury likely to be the church referred to on the certified copy?

Any help will be most appreciated. We live in Australia so we aren't able to chase up this query ourselves.
