The Alex, as it's known locally, has always been a bit of a mystery to me. It is a very large building purported to have been built c1830 but I can only find records of a landlord from 1871. It may have been named after Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), wife of Edward VII. This, however, does not exclude the building from being some type of hostelry, as no resident would have built a home right on the road edge unless it was to capture passing trade. Despite it being some distance from the high street, in a then under developed area, we can clearly see in the old pictures a bus timetable on the wall. It is thought to have been remodeled in 1898
