Built in 1840, or early 1841 at the very latest, the Clements Arms was at that time the business premises & home of William Pugh, beer retailer. By 1848 he was operating it as a beerhouse & car operation, though I have been unable to identify any example of the type of transport he would have provided. William Pugh's widow Elizabeth subsequently became the licended victualler. In 1852 the railway was opened & by 1855 the Railway Inn was the name of the drinking establishment. In 1857 it was encumbered with the less catchy title the Birmingham & Oxford Railway Inn. Elizabeth expanded her business interests & in 1862 had a blacksmith's too, presumably in the yard next to the pub. Following Elizabeth Pugh was Caroline Lane who ran the pub as the Railway Inn & by 1879 the landlord was Owen Shaw who ran the pub as the Clements Arms. Edward Birch too over as the manager & barman & then for a longer tenure James Severn was landlord, certainly from 1901 - 1911.
Excluding scullery & any bathroom the private rooms of the Clements Arms numbered only 3, at least in 1911.
Until better photos arrive here is one picture of the distinctive dark wood interior of the Clements Arms.
