The Bald Hind opened in 1770 as "The Bald Faced Hind"
(Bald Face refers to an animal that has a white strip down the forehead. Hind refers to a female red deer).
The fist publican on record was a Mr Levi Grout in 1822, the pub stayed in his family till 1902, passed on to Susannah Grout (Wife), Ann Grout (Daughter), Thomas Grout (Son), Louisa A Grout (Daughter) and James Catley (Grandson, apparently aged 7)
Planning permission was granted to Central Investment Properties in May 2011 to demolish the pub and Build a block of 14 two and three bedroom flats
