 The Blackbird Inn was a pub in Paulton which closed in 1961.

However the premises was definitely a beerhouse from at least 1861 since we find John Smith there in the census as a beerhouse keeper. It is likely it was serving beer since at least 1854 when John married Elizabeth Carter. When their first son, John William Smith, was baptised on the 3rd of January 1855, John Smith's occupation was already "Beer Seller"
-The pub was always a family affair. The license (and property) passed from John Smith to George Banfield (who had married Mary Elizabeth Smith on 11 Feb 1879).
