Building record 1477500000 - The Potters Arms

Never Listed. Early C19 red-brick two-storey building on rendered plinth with internal brick chimney stack to front wall. Central doorway flanked by casement windows, with three windows to first floor. Later parallel brick range to rear and single-story lean-to to side. There is a reference in the early licensed victuallers’ returns to a house called "the Last" in Hedgerley Dean. It was later referred to as the "Shoe Last". In a Justices’ note of a case of assault in 1820 (Justices’ Case Books in the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies), John Sexton, a witness, is described as keeping a public house in Hedgerley called the ‘Shoe Last’.
There is no reference to the Shoe Last after 1820 and it may have been the predecessor to the Potters Arms, a Beer House at Casualty which closed in 1913 (B1)
