There is a little confusion about the location of this pub. Our map location and photograph show what seems to be the right building, based on 1911 census data, though it has also been suggested that it was actually what's now Daisy cottage (next door) or even another Daisy Cottage in Lower Road.
The sequence of entries in the census are:
- Barley Mow Lane (most likely what's now Malting Lane, as this is right next door to the Barley Mow)
- Bricklayers Arms
- Daisy Cottage
- Balcony Villa (possibly the next house to the south of Daisy Cottage, which has a balcony over the door)
- Motor Garage
- The Street

It's not clear from the 1911 census if the pub was actually open at this time.
Elizabeth Steggall is listed as living as a domestic housekeeper with John Ward, a Master Bricklayer, in the 1901 census, in which its shown as a private house.
