Saracen's Head, Runsell Green, Danbury

My great great great uncle and aunt ran the pub - William and Mary Poole (born Mary Ann Gilbert Pond – sister of William Pond, landlord of the Stow Road Fly and Bullocks/Butchers Arms, Cold Norton).  Another of Mary’s brothers, John Pond, worked there at the time of the 1881 and 1891 census’s **

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
