The Three Frogs – 222 London Road
Up to 1901
Although this public house was once a private house known by the name of Frog Hall, it has been so
much altered, particularly in recent years, that it is hard to see any thing of the original building.
Although it has been called the Three Frogs for over two hundred years, no one has yet been able
to conclusively find out the origin of this name. The most plausible suggestion is that the name was
derived from Frog Hall. In turn the hall was thought to have been named after the animals
themselves, which abounded in the area because of its former boggy nature.
By 1823 it was owned by Haywards Brewery.
