Carew Arms, Glazebrook, pre-1914

Carew Arms, pre-1914. (It is recorded on the Devon OS map CXX.9, revised 1904 and published 1906, together with other buildings.) It was owned by the Carew family until 1919 when a lot of property was sold. The pages of the catalogue of the sale of property are shown in other images, including SAV 0039 which notes the particulars of the Carew Arms itself, other buildings, tenants and legal matters, including those relating to the inn sign. Note the steam roller on the left. The Carew Arms later became The Woodpecker, but it was demolished by February 2009, presumably because the building of the A38 had gradually reduced its trade. An online source shows that, on 8 March 2014, the skeleton of the inn sign (shown clearly in this image) was still visible, although the rest of the inn had disappeared. By the mid-2020s, the site was being used for industrial units. (See also UG 012.) DRA 6401 UG 013
