The Four Oaks Pub c1800 to 1955
The Four Oaks Pub c1800 to 1955
This piece of research traces the history of the pub from its origins until the mid-1950’s, after which information from online research, my main source, dries up. I’ve included newspaper cuttings where possible, however I’ve transcribed longer articles to make them easier to read. Throughout its history, the pub has variously been known as The Park Tavern, The Four Oaks Inn and The Four Oaks Hotel. In more recent times it has been a carvery since the 1980’s and is currently a pub restaurant known simply as The Four Oaks
