Summary
No longer an inn, this establishment in the Square was converted into two dwellings in the late 19th century: now known as Lydstone and King's Arms Cottage. The King's Arms was converted in the later 19th century into the Central Private Hotel, which continued to trade until before the First World War (the 'Lydstone' section).

The King's Arms (now 'Lydstone') in the Square was popular in the 19th century. Apparently became the genteel Central Private Hotel by the later 19th century, a 'family and commercial hotel'. It ceased to be a public house before the First World War, trading then as the Central private Hotel, as seen in an image dating from around the 1920s. It is now Lydstone, a private house.
Ordnance Survey, 2016, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359352.
Building is depicted on the modern mapping.
