 The story of the Flying Dutchman starts with Thomas Brodribb, born in Paulton in 1836. In the 1861 census, he is living on Brittons Hill with his mother and father. His father died in 1861 and his mother in 1865, and this seems to be the time that Thomas began selling beer from the property (perhaps on inheriting the house?). Thomas continued as licensee until some time in the 1890s, when the license was taken over by Alfred Langridge. He remained there until the license was revoked in 1920. This seems to be a time when many beer licenses in the area were revoked on the grounds of "redundancy". It was felt by the police at least that there were simply too many pubs. Compensation was paid to the owners when this happened.
-It does not sound as if it was a very salubrious place. According to a description it "had very poor public accommodation, and no sanitary convenience was provided. The bar was an ordinary room 12ft. 10in by 11ft. 5in., and the taproom was 14ft. 7in. by 9ft. 7in"
