Hey Suzie that's as good a picture as you will get.  Bridge farm was once Castle Farm, so as I said the Inn may have been in the farm house, or more likely I think, the other cottage.  The castle mound is in the fields behind the trees top left of the picture.  I think a Long family were there 50 years ago, they had an Old English sheepdog who was always outside the farm, and when they sheared the sheep they sheared the dog, but they left a fringe over his eyes and it looked so funny.  There will be an old photo somewhere I imagine.

I will have to find out I am not sure as I am too far away to go and look.
