Lord Warden

One of a large number of pubs in the Three Towns to have been closed in the 1930s the Lord Warden in Battery Street, Stonehouse, shared its name with a number of inns and taverns on the south east coast – Deal, Hastings, Sandwich. These places however are likely to have been named after the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, whereas the Stonehouse hostelry is more likely to have been named after the Lord Warden of the Stannaries. This was a post appointed by the Duke of Cornwall to preside over the mining parliaments of Cornwall.

The pub itself was in Battery Street, on its south-western corner with Union Place, parallel too and above Union Street. It closed on 29 February 1932.
