Drybrook Inn - around 1850 (General)

Hi Derek,
I agree with Paul that the NLS Ordnance Survey Map he provided the link to, is the place where the Inn would have been.
One of the households in the Census is actually a "house upon wheels". Gypsies caravan perhaps ?
If so then the three households in the Census match the later published Ordnance Survey map.
I believe the Census Enumerator would have travelled along the road from South to North, based on previous and subsequent entries in the Census matching locations on the map.
My guess would be the larger property on the North side of the road.
