Bridge Inn, Stickney

[AllanUK]

A distant ancestor, Isaac Carey (born 1882), stated on his army service discharge papers (1919) that he was a publican of the Bridge Inn, Stickney. I have tried to identify the Bridge Inn but can only find the Bridge Tavern, Stickney. Was the Bridge Inn and the Bridge Tavern one and the same?

Hi
Not a local but there is a Bridge Inn at Stickney in 1891 census
John and Mary Parrinder are the landlords and its in Hall Lane.
Given the Bridge Tavern was also in Hall Lane I'd assume they are the same.
There is a least i photo online if you google it.

Thank you for replying. Just before your reply 'popped up' I found a newspaper article (under Spilsby Police Court) in the Lincolnshire Standard and Boston Guardian published on the 6th March 1920 which stated that the licence of the Bridge Tavern had been transferred from his wife (Ada) to him. I have also googled it and found a photograph of the Tavern.

There is a map showing the location, same shape as the one in the picture - https://maps.nls.uk/view/114650862
It is on the left-hand side, about a third of the way up.

You can see it, much changed, in Google Street View.

Thank you David - Isaac also had 16 acres [this was the land he had at the Black Horse, the land he had at the Bridge Tavern was just over 4 acres] of land attached to the Tavern which he worked as a small holding. A few years later, he had the Black Horse Inn at Thorpe Bank.

Thank you for this, it is interesting to see that 5 'lots' below is the sale of the Black Horse Inn which Isaac purchased for £940. This fully explains why he moved from being a tenant of the Bridge Inn / Tavern to being the owner of the Black Horse.
