Pubs of Hockley/Newtown

Does anyone know the name of the pub that was almost opposite Harry Lucas School in Farm St Hockley please.
I can't remember it and it's driving me nuts.
Thanks in anticipation

That was quick. Thanks to both of you. Lynn,slightly worried about fiends Hall. I didn't realise such a scary place existed.

hi nodd i never found it scary...we used to use friends hall for extra lessons when i attended farm st school...from memory i believe its original use was for adult male education in the very early 1900s...great to see it still stands and is being used

No mention of pub landlord James Underwood in 1910 Kellys
In 1913 Kellys (referring probably to 1912) James Underwood was at the New Inns
In 1915 Kellys (probably referring to 1914), James was at the Coach & horses, 93 Spring Hill
In 1921 and 1924 Kellys (probably referring to 1920 and 1923 respectively) James was at the Frighted Horse...

Hello, I am doing some research on my family background. Do you know the name of James's wife? It is my understanding that he had a son called William and his wife was Violet, do you know if there was any more syblings?

any information would be muchly appreciated!

Kind regards, Brooke
