NOTE: The County Court Act of 1867, known as the Slate Act, made the depts chalked on a slate behind the bar irrecoverable. 'Silent Clocks' were posted in prominent positions on public houses to denote that credit ceases at 11.50pm on the date the Act becomes operative. There is a 'Silent Clock' in the tympanum of the pediment on the front of this former public house.
