Scully’s pub is a well-known 20th century establishment and in 2020, the Scully family, claimed in a newspaper article that they had run the pub for more than 70 years, which takes them back to the 1940s. There is a problem in that the census returns of 1901 and 1911 record the Scully family as agricultural labourers, which would indicate that the story that Thomas Hodge wrote it is an assumption.
