The Bush Inn, Warminster

Reg Cundick and Danny Howell in the book The Inns And Taverns Of Warminster, published in November 1987, stated:

The Bush, Warminster
The site of The Bush Inn is occupied today by Wilson & Kennard’s grocery shop on the south side of the Market Place.

The Bush was in existence in the early 1700s and was recorded by both Daniell and Halliday. It closed before 1801. The 1801 Survey Of Warminster describes its location as “Plot 313, the Bush (late)”, occupied by Brodribb.

Uriah Brodribb’s grocery business eventually passed into the hands of James Dudden Brodribb (mentioned in Kelly’s Directory 1859). From circa 1867 onwards, Richard Sherring Brodribb was the proprietor of the store. By 1899 it had passed to Wilson & Mayo, shortly afterwards to Wilson & Kennard, under which name the shop’s proprietor today, Peter Mead, still trades.
