The Chaise & Pair is shown on this old OS map from 1883 (larger map).
The license was allowed to expire on August 19th, 1911 as part of a scheme to reduce the number of alcohol licenses. The building is now residential. Some old maps suggest the pub filled the entire building in our photo, others that it may have just been the grey section.
