There was a picture in a local paper the other day showing bowlee village there was a guy on a bike going down hill towards a pub on the left called the blue bell of blue ball. I can't find any info about any such pub.

Can anybody tell me anything about this pub

I have just learned that my 3 x great grandfather, Valentine Etches, lived at the Blue Ball Inn at the time of the 1841 Census and may have been the landlord. The pub existed until 1929 when the renewal of its licence was refused and it became a shop. I believe that it has now re-opened as a pub and is called The Norland Arms.
