The fox is shown on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. (interactive map). The building is still called Fox Cottage and even features a fox on its weather vane (see the gallery).
The Fox is marked as a beerhouse on OS maps at least as late as 1905, but not on the 1926 or subsequent sheets, so probably closed between those dates.
