Where exactly

On The Sands, Brampton. The exact spot isn't known, so the pin marks the town centre, not the building. The position is approximate.

On the Sands at Brampton. Mike Tuer's records have it starting as the Horse and Groom around 1829, becoming the Bay Horse and then, in 1847, the Ridge House Inn; it closed as a pub in 1876 and is now a large house. Another record starts it about 1822. The Sands had several inns of its own, among them the Earl Grey and the Sandhouse.
