Full Description
According to (S1) the Free Bridge opened in 1821, although (S2) reports that it was described as new-built in 1823 when it was first offered for sale or to let. At that time it was described as including a bowling green and extensive gardens fitted up as tea gardens and planted with shrubberies. It also included stabling for eight horses. The site is labelled 'Freebridge Hotel' on (S3).
(S1) notes that it ceased to be a public house in 1985. See (S2) for further details of licencees.
