This was originally the Lyoth Lane Beer House. The Lyoth Lane beer house, which is now known as the Snowdrop has different addresses but is the same building. It is just off the current Lyoth Lane in Snowdrop Lane next to Pascotts Farm. The lane has also been known as Everest Lane though the original name was Sluts Lane, indeed some 25 years ago, that name still appeared in the rate books.
