Previously:

The pub was known as The Dewdrop Inn till 1985, when Chris and Debbie Lloyd (tenants at the The Free Press 1978-2000) bought it from Tolly Cobbold and refurbished it. They stocked Tolly beers (including "House" at 68p/pint, later 74p) and from about 1986 Nethergate.
Between 1988 and 1991 it was leased to B&T (Shefford) and then to Nethergate (Clare) till 1999.
Nick & Mandy Winnington ran it between 1989 and 1999, until the end of the lease.

The left-hand half (no. 87) was purpose-built in the 1860s as a pub, as part of the estate of railway workers' terraced houses, one of many pubs along the street. Later (by 1903) the pub was enlarged by knocking through to no. 85. [Why "Gwydir"]
