Hey I didn't realise that the Barley Mow was closed and demolished and the site built on again. Here are a couple more images of images one from the end of the 19th century and one of it's replacement that looks to date from the 1960/70's.

The earlier photograph is between 1893 and c.1898 when James Burton was the licensee. He certainly took over in 1893 and was granted the licence in December of that year. The Reaney family are listed in trade directories from 1898, though an exact date of their arrival is yet to be determined.

Back in 1834 a sing-along at the Barley Mow. The age old question is it Mow as in mow the lawn, or Mow as in cow?
 
One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow.................................:D
There are countless pubs/hotels named Barley Mow in England.
 
it was like the nags head in fools and horses,..you could buy and sell allmost anything in there, as long as it was NOT dodgy:laughing:

The date of Vivienne's photo (post 17) has a date, it seems, of 1917 but the link in post 18 gives William Eastwood as there in 1915 and no other name until 1940.
