Hampstall History

The Ordnance Survay map of 1830 shows a stretch of the River Severn between Stourport and Holt Fleet highlighted by 2 fords, and 3 regular ferries. All 3 of the ferry crossings supported a public house: the Lench-ford, the Wierman, and the Hampstall Inn. The Alsehouse license dates back to the late 1830's.

The Hampstall Inn was a homebrew house with a 'cyder' plant. Like the beer, the cider varied in quality and was an aquired taste. It was like lumpy scrumpy with a high alcoholic content, sold in quarts and was very cheap in season.

National news was made on Bank Holiday Monday 4th August, 1919 when an overloaded ferryboat capsized, drowning 9 passengers. The boat which normally carried 12, contained 17 all standing. The wash from a passing steamer overturned the ferryboat.

The Georgian farmhouse is structually unchanged, but has been extended over the years, although the ambience and character associated with an old English riverside inn remains.

The Hampstall Inn dates back to the late 1830's and has had many occupants over the years.
