Early in the afternoon of Easter Monday, the road was thronged with groups making their way to the Punchbowl Fair’.
The Punch Bowl has been altered and restored and turned into a restaurant since this photograph was taken.
The Punch Bowl Inn was formerly known as the Covered Cup, a reference to the three chalices contained within the emblem of the Butler family, who held the manor.
Its original name was the Punch Bowl Inn; it was built in 1780 and designed by Sir John Soane (1753-1837), the distinguished architect and collector of Greek and Roman artefacts.
Earlier, this had been the Half Moon and Punchbowl brew house and shop.
