I was interested to see your blog. In the 1891 census, my great-grandfather, Horace Taylor, is listed as innkeeper of "The Harrow" and is living there with his family. I don't think this pub exists any more from what I can tell but I would be interested to know if you know anything about it. I didn't see The Harrow listed among the inns that you list.

The Harrow was in the original parish boundary prior to 1934. When Maidenhead took over where it was located in what is now Ellington Park.
