Hitcham Buck's Horn (Blue Horns?)
South, 52.12113,0.89789
Closed: between 1840 and 1920
Fen Ln
The corner of Fen lane and B1115 is called Bucks Horn corner, so logically ought to have been the pub's location (or near to it).
Our picture shows the house on that corner. It has been the only house at the corner since at least OS maps of about the end of the 19th century. Was this the Buck's Horn? If you can say one way or the other for certain, please let us know.
