We understand that the Beaconsfield Arms has partly been demolished. Part it may still be standing; it was for a time used as a bookie's office (this was two doors from the Chequers). So it seems the small building at the nearest end in our picture (currently occupied by a hairdresser's) may be all that's left of it.
