The Mount Pleasant was trading as a beer house by 1835 when it was recorded in Pigot's trade directory. William and Susannah Pountain were mine hosts. Susannah Pountain was born in Rolleston around 1790 but William was a local man. They lived on the property with their sons Frederick and Thomas. Additional income was earned by taking in lodgers. In January 1866 the pub was sold at an auction held at the nearby Bull's Head. The sale notice reveals that, whilst the pub was occupied by Richard Gibson, a nearby 10 quarter malthouse was run by Charles Brentnall. Lot 2 of the auction comprised of nine houses at Mount Pleasant that were in the occupations of John Asbury, John Bull, Richard Adams, Henry Palmer, James Smithard, George Thompson and Charles Wheatcroft.
