It's always great to receive bundles in the mail, dropped off at the door or received in the post.
Thanks, Phil!

It appears the public house was in existence Ca1857 - 1890.
How long it actually operated is unknown

First time I'd heard of a pub called the Southern Star hotel with a large star shaped garden (west of the river opposite the toll booth)
