Title
The Bricklayer's Arms and its Landlord, Mr Pearman
Description
1. This 1900 view shows the Bricklayer's Arms.
Originally built by the canal contractor, John Nock, in 1784 as accommodation for his men working in the tunnel during the six years of its construction. It was sold by the company in 1807 and became an inn which it has remained ever since. Note that at this time it was a Cirencester Brewery house. For almost a century a man-trap has hung on the wall in the bar.
Daneway Bridge was also known as Causeway Bridge and this is where the towpath changes from the north side of the canal to the south side. Here it goes off to the right through the small gate and it remains on the south side for the rest of the canal route through to lnglesham, where it joins the River Thames. The pub was later renamed the Daneway Inn.
2. View from 1917.
3. Shows the Bricklayer's Arms, c. 1920. The landlord, Mr Arthur Pearman, is in his milk float, about to start off to deliver milk to Hill House at Tunley.
