Title: Tumbledown Dick Hotel, Farnborough Road, Farnborough [Go to resource]
Description: An inn on the site of The Tumbledown Dick hotel, appears on the Farnborough section of Ogilby's road map of Britain in 1674. It was noted on a sale document of 1825, as having been built in 1817. The inn has been much changed over the centuries. There are many theories about its name, from local associations with Dick Turpin the highwayman, to the fall from power of Richard Cromwell, also the story of a local boy, Dick Thrupples. The building is still in use as a hotel and pub. The remaining buildings shown have all been demolished to make way for modern development, mainly in the 1970's. Gosney, J.
