\nPublic houses were in profusion. Ye Olde Wheatsheaf Inn was first licensed in 1835, being the longest established in the area. The North Star, the Dripping Spring and the Tower Hotel all continue to operate, but three have ceased. These were the Prince of Wales Hotel at number 84 Bohemia Road, the Hearts of Oak Inn at no. 116 and the Bohemia Arms at no. 76.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
