grid reference TM 165 779
The pub can be seen on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)
The Green Man's closure date is unknown, but the most recent Eye licensing records we've seen show it still open at least as late as 1967. A planning application lodged in February 1989 refers to it as the "old Green Man", suggesting it had closed by then.
The building dates from the 16th and 17th centuries.
In 1865 & 1888 it was listed at the Street.
