15 Bodmin Hill
What Three Words: ///scrub.
Forty metres along Bodmin Hill is a private residence built between 1900 and 1929 on the site of an old inn called Byways. The house is still called Byways, but please respect the privacy of its residents.
Little is known about this pub that was on this site, except that it had a 6-day license and was popular with miners working at the Royal Iron Mine further up the hill. It was run as an adjunct to a private house and was typical of many small beer houses that sold beer as an additional source of income for a householder. In 1862 it is known to have been in the possession of Thomas Lewis, whose principal occupation was as a plasterer.
