Generous Briton

 


 
The Generous Briton was situated on North End.
 

 
From N Lincolnshire Heritage:
'Generous Briton (P.H.)' printed and shown on Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping, 1964-1977. Located on the north side of North End, centred to TA10302195. [1]
Article from The Goxhill Gander, 2015 - '16 pints a day at the Generous Briton !' The pub may have originally been three cottages. It was popular with local agricultural workers, and the pub yard was used as an arena for whippet racing. Quoits were also played, and the yard was also used by itinerant traders. Musical entertainment also took place in one of the outbuildings, 'a barn above the stables'. A photograph of the frontage c. 1960 accompanies the article.
The building shown on post-war mapping has been converted to residential use, and was named 'Briton Lodge' in 2015.
