The Alexandra has been many things in its past, hotel, hostelry and of course a community pub. Lots of people know The Alexandra as The Alex.
The building dates from around c1830 and during those many years has had lots of external colour changes. I have been told that it was named after Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), wife of Edward VII.
