Baslow (Derbyshire) Inns and Public Houses
1829-1901
A description of the Inns in Baslow over the years 1841 to 1901.
Compiled by David Dalrymple-Smith, © Copyright May 2004
Baslow has been well supplied with Inns over the years. The Rutland Arms and the Peacock (later the
Cavendish) were well established Inns and Posting Houses from well before the 1840s. The Robin Hood Inn
and the Green Man (later the Rutland Arms) also predate the 1840s. All the above were owned by the Duke of
Rutland.
The following were on land NOT owned by either of the Dukes. The Barrel Inn already existed in 1830,
probably on the site of the Devonshire Arms, which could have replaced it in the 1850s. There were two Beer
houses. The Travellers Rest (later the Royal Hotel) dated back to the 1830s or before, and the Alma which
appeared in the 1850s. The most recent Inn is the Prince of Wales, which was founded in the 1860s.
