Blackmoor Head Yard (RGL 2022)This was an alleyway perpendicular to Bridge Street between the Mitre Hotel (17) and The Baron of Beef (19). In 1913 there were 12 addresses there.
In 1825 there was a livery occupying part of the garden behind the Blackmoor Head Yard run by Henry Browning. St John’s College granted him a lease in that year. The livery was next to ‘the Dunghill’, a source of local nuisance.
