The historic Holly Bush Inn is generally recognised as being the second licensed pub in the country. Licensing of public houses began in the reign of Charles II (1660 - 1685) so the Holly Bush must have been well established at that time but its origins are claimed to reach as far back as 1190. In the second half of the 17th Century there would have been about thirty houses in the village. To the North of village the road that is now the A51 was the main 18th Century stage coaching route from London to Liverpool. The nearby Trent and Mersey canal was constructed in the 1770s. It is fascinating to think of all the people that have partaken some refreshment within the Holly Bush walls over the years.
