 In Jun of 1875, on the death of his father, the license was transferred to said Felix Carter. Felix Carter remained there until sometime between 1901 and 1905, when he seems to have taken over the Lamb Inn. The license passed to his son Herbert John Carter, before being transferred to his second cousin [[Reuben James Carter]] in 1906, who was the licensee for 26 years. [[Reuben James Carter]] was the father of [[William George Carter]], well known Paultonian, who was the landlord of the Victoria Inn for many years. He was also the cousin of [[Mary Elizabeth Banfield]], landlady of the Blackbird for many years.
-In 1930, the license was taken over by Reginald F. Ashman, the son-in-law of Reuben James Carter, who ran the pub until 1954. The last licensee was Leslie Shearn, who ran the pub until it closed in 1957, at which point he moved to the [[Rising Sun]].

 The first mention I can find of beer being sold from this premises is in the 1861 Census, when George Carter is listed as at Beer Seller at Plummers Hill Beer House. George died shortly thereafter, and it isn't entirely clear exactly what happened to the license. By the time of the 1871 census Simon Carter is the Beer Seller at Plummers Hill Beer House. Simon was not (as far as I can tell) directly related to George, but his son Felix married George's daughter Hepzibah in 1862 - and then in 1864 Simon married George's widow Sarah!
