The Falcon II

The Falcon became an alehouse, then a temperance cocoa house, then a cafe, then industrial premises before falling into a state of disrepair. A restoration scheme was launched in the 1980s and it became a pub again. Inside the enclosed shop front still remains.  A wattle-and-daub filling is on display behind see-through panels, and shows interwoven hazel or briar branches that were covered with a mix of lime, clay and horse dung.
