I thought that I new the “North End” pretty well but I’ve never heard of a pub by that name.

The Broomhill Hotel was trading at least 10 years prior to that date so it doesn’t seem likely that the Pettigrew Arms was the original name of that establishment. Anyone else got any ideas?
In 1901 according to the census Henry L Pettigrew was living in East Chevington and was an Innkeeper. He employed a barman, a groom and three domestic servants, and when he died in 1945 he left almost £30,000 in his will, so he must have been successful. Unfortunately it still gives no clue as to where the Pettigrew Arms was in Broomhill.
