The Grapes, Uxbridge

Picture source: Hania Franek


The Grapes was situated at 22 High Street. This pub was present by c1759 and closed c1930. The licence of this inn was transferred to the inn of the same name in Hayes. It has now been demolished.
 

 
The very select Public House known as The Grapes where many tradesmen meet in the evening in the large room, each in his own particular place and high-backed Windsor chair, smoke their long Churchwardens, partake of very moderate refreshment, and discuss the topics of the day. The Harmonic Society was formed here, and some of the best male voices in the town sing their quartettes and choruses. The host is Ben Drinkwater, and the house is entirely closed on Sundays.
