Brett reports that the inn was reconstructed circa 1834, and, in the course of demolitions, a 'tub hole' was discovered - possibly utilised to store contraband[1], although this was most likely apocryphal; the premises having been advertised as possessing an ice house capable of storing forty tons of ice in 1829[2].
