The Blue Boy Inn and Malt house High Street Hawkesbury Upton, on the left picture the outside lamp frame can still be seen, the picture on the right still has the sign iron work attached, below the second window of the malt house a timber projects from the masonry with a large iron ring I suspect this was the top anchor of a hoist to remove sacks of grain from carts. on the far right corner of picture is a large sandstone block on its side this is hollowed on the top when it is stood upright it was used by the men to mount their horse for the journey home over the years the hob nails in their boots wore the stone away.

Blue Boy Inn , High Street

The Blue Boy was a Nailsworth Brewery tied house. It had an annual rateable value of £18.0s.0d. (10 p.m. closing). The pub was a stone's throw away from the Beaufort Arms. The metal pub sign pole remains in situ. Mark Steeds, landlord of the Beaufort Arms, told me that when it rains it is just possible to see the words 'Nailsworth Brewery' on the wet walls. The Blue Boy Inn is now called Malt House Cottage.
