Devon / MUTTERS Cider Shop in Exmouth 1840s
« on: Wednesday 13 September 06 20:25 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out any information about the supposed owner/landlord - or of the establishment itself - of what has been called "Mutters Cider Shop". This was said to be located "on the corner of Hamilton road, just beyond Waterworks Cottage, Salterton Road"
This was supposed to be the 'headquarters' of local smugglers in the 1840s - at the time of the well-known John Rattenbury of Beer.
I am trying to connect this cider shop / public house to my family of MUTTER, of whom I have various records tying them in with the smuggling operations of this time.
Any ideas on finding info on the public house would be appreciated - such as licence required for landlord?, photos, maps, directory entries etc.
Also any information on MUTTERS in the surrounding area.
Thanks
