The Checkers
Daniell mentioned The Checkers in his History Of Warminster. He spelt the name as Chequers. Halliday records that it was Checkers in 1740 and was situated outside the Turnpike at Portway. The site of the Turnpike he referred to, is today occupied by the entrance to the Portway Lane housing estate. The precise location of the inn is uncertain because there appears to be no documentary evidence.
