The Granby Arms, Uppermill

The Granby Arms, High Street, Uppermill


This pub got its first beer licence in 1831 and has been through several changes of name since then, before sticking with the present one. It was first the Dog and Partridge, in 1840 it was the Queen Adelaide. After this date its licensee got a full licence. (In times past, pub licensees could be given licenses to sell beer only, or to sell beer, wine and spirits. 'Beerhouses' were distinctly downmarket premises.) In 1842 it was renamed the Marquis of Granby, but the locals called it the Granby Arms and the name stuck.
