The Star Inn was demolished in the 1920s for road-widening.
It's also been listed at 12 Mustow Street in 1844 and at 9 Mustow Street in 1891.
Researching my maternal grandmother’s family I discovered they once lived in Mustow St. only a couple of doors away from the Star Inn. This wonderful street scene (see main picture) shows what I believe is the Star (with huge chimneys). regards, Anthony Worman
Nearby to the Fox was the Star Inn, which, while only a small distance from the Fox, was within Mustow Street. Mustow Street turns into Eastgate Street when the road reaches the Broadway at the bend in the road…
