The Exhibition, 1 King Street (Duke of Cumberland Street), Over

History of 1 King Street

Listed Building

Cottage, of C18 origin but restored mid C20. (Historic England)

E G Papworth writes in A Walk Round the Village of Over:

King Street was earlier known as the Duke of Cumberland Street after another public house further up and on the opposite side of the road which was pulled down in 1939. The present pub was named after The Great Exhibition of 1851; it may have previously been called the Three (or Four) Pigeons in 1813; it was under the Falcom brewery of Huntingdon in 184; and, more recently, known as “Miss Bullen’s” Mrs Grace Bullen who was publican for over 45 years. See the date 1826 on a brick pillar in the Bar which may have connections with the great fire of the same date.
