The Old Leopard, Sandhills, as photographed by John M and posted on Geograph.
I’m liking this a lot: sent to me yesterday by Andy Dennis, this is a Google Documents/Excel spreadsheet of derived information on local pub landlords from census and other data. You can view it in the window, or download a copy by clicking the link below.
If the sheet doesn’t load, please refresh the page; the plug in seems a bit unreliable.

I think this is very much a work in progress, and Andy invites comment, debate and clarification – which after all is what this blog is all about. The history of pubs, their landlords and tenants is a subject searched a lot, and often hotly debated.
I’m thinking here particularly of the controversy over The Old Leopard in Sandhills, and the young David Evans’ great exploration of the history of the Royal Oak at Bullings Heath, Walsall Wood.
My heartfelt thanks to Andy, who does so much great research for the blog.
Comments and any other matters arising, please add here or to BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.
