Description:
Black and white photograph of The Hawthorn Inn pub, Upper Welland, 1900
Used to be a well renowned restaurant but now a private house. Built, as were most of the houses in the village, on land that had been part of Lower Assart or Assarts Common. The common land was enclosed after the 1851 Welland Inclosure Act which stipulated how each new field boundary must be planted with hawthorn hedges. It is thought that that is how the Inn got its name.
