The Bridge Hotel, Leighton Buzzard

Location: Leighton Road (formerly known as Bridge Street)
History: The Bridge Hotel was the first pub a visitor to Leighton would pass when entering Leighton Buzzard from Linslade. It was located on a plot of land between the River Ouzel and the Mill Stream.

It has been known by various different names over the years. It was first recorded as The Ram in 1730's, then successively became The Running Horse, then The Sow and Pigs, then the The Shoulder of Mutton, and finally circa 1880 the building was demolished and the Bridge Hotel was built. This was itself demolished approximately 100 years later and the site remains vacant.
