Woolcombers'-Arms  

This pub was located in Royal East Street. George and Sophia Stone were the hosts in the early 1860's. Charles and Hannah Tidd moved to the Woolcomber's Arms in 1891. The couple had previously kept the Bowl Turner's Arms on Belgrave Gate in 1891. Charles Tidd was born close to the Rutland border at Knossington in 1851. He grew up on the farm worked by his parents Thomas and Mary. Soon after their marriage, Charles and Hannah Tidd moved to the Black Horse Inn on Checketts Road. The couple later moved to the Bull's Head Inn on the Lutterworth Road in Blaby.

 

“Good thoughts his only friends,
His wealth a well-spent age,
The earth his sober inn
And quiet pilgrimage.”
Thomas Campion
