Barley Mow, 26 Bridge Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
Cambridge pub history index
This pub is long closed. Further research has revealed that 25 & 26 Bridge Street were merged at some point. This probably accounts for the closure of the Barley Mow. The combined building then became the Baron of Beef, which my Great Great Grandfather then converted. The Baron of Beef then moved to 19 Bridge Street. I cannot yet be precise on dates, but it all happened between 1861 & 1881. ***
The picture is of 25 & 26 Bridge Street, (the combined building), taken about 1890, with 26 Bridge Street being the original location for the Barley Mow.
