Public Houses
Below are listed some of the pubs in Gamlingay!
Many, like the Crooked Billet, on Fullers hill, were a country Beer House, set up purely a specific function. The Crooked Billet started when the `Navvies' came to the area to build the railway that used to go across country from Cambridge to Oxford (passing Gamlingay on the way).
