I'm trying to work out an entry for Kibworth Beauchamp from the 1939 Register.
Entries 82, 83 and 84 are shops on High STreet. Next, 85, is a shop on Cross Bank.
My question is: what is entry 86? (The Jetry? The Setry?, The Vetry?) A Google search doesn't help.
These (inlcuding 87, 88 and 89) appear to be dwelling houses
Any idea of the origin of the name?
Many thanks

If you look at the transcription then it will tell you what that entry says. I can't readily find the page you have snipped.

Looks like The Jetty to me

The transcription says "The Vetry" However I find transcriptions are quite often unreliable. I would have thought though that with four (?) houses being called the same thing there would be a local derivation for the name whatever the somewhat odd spelling.

I would suggest contacting the village site:

It looks like 'Vetry' but what it is/was I don't know
Have you got this? http://www.kibworth.org/kb%20heritage%20trail%20leaflet%20220811.pdf

Good idea, Diddy. Will do
Many thanks

Well, that will teach me to treat the indexing and annotations of these resources with a huge sack full of salt! This version of the 39 Register is on FindMyPast - where it is indexed and each each line has its own pop up annotation. I have added a screenshot for the pop up that appears with No 86 "The Vetry"
As plain as anything this is labelled Kibworth Beauchamp (as is ever other pop up) But it isn't. Closer examination at the foot of this page contains a public house called "The Shoulder of Mutton". An acquaintance of mine who has written about Kibworth says that the village had a number of coaching inns but not one called that. He believed the nearest to have been in Great Bowden.
It wasn't Great Bowden either but going three pages back in the Register shows that the village being described is in fact Great Easton.
That places the question in the right place, but still doesn't answer what "The Vetry" (or other interpretation) means

From the Electoral Register, George White lived at the Jetty.

Point to Diddy 😁

Many thanks, all
I have put in a correction notice to FindMyPast. Be interested to see if that makes any difference. After all, Great Easton is 12 miles away from Kibworth Beauchamp!
