Looking back at the former Duke of Edinburgh pub in Oxhey opposite Bushey railway station.
has again joined forces with its friends at Watford Museum to look back at structures, objects or businesses from the town’s past that have either disappeared or been relocated and this week we look back at The Duke of Edinburgh pub.
The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “The pub was first named the Colliers Arms because the landlord, Thomas Terry, was a coal merchant.“There were several coal and dry goods merchants in the area that directed orders should be sent to Bushey Station.“I wonder if Terry picked the pub as it was handy to pop out to oversee deliveries and despatch from the station.
