The Bull's Head Inn is located on the western side of High
Street, a thoroughfare that was also known as Long Street. The
pub almost certainly got its name because the premises were used
as a slaughterhouse, butchery and public house, quite a common
combination in many places where meat and beer seemed to go
hand-in-hand. In 1828 Matthew Marples was listed as a butcher
and victualler at the Bull's Head Inn. In addition to processing
animals here, Matthew Marples also auctioned his livestock in
what is today's car park. He was quite a successful farmer and
bred cattle, sheep and pigs.
