Some Inns have kept the same name e.g: Plough, Ring of Bells, Red Lion. Therefore we can easily recognise them and know which village in the parish they were situated in. I have added Skelm to the Fox and Goose as this was a very old pub in Skelmersdale located at Stormy Corner but if you know the names of the Inns in Newburgh please let me know.
From the records there were 4 Inns/Taverns in Newburgh in 1825.
