'Union Inn' shown.

The original Union Inn opened circa 1823. The present house was built in 1918 on the site of three premises: the Union Inn, a temperance hotel and the Globe Inn. All three properties were sold in the 1911 sale of the Duke of Bedford's property and the present building commissioned. The style is typical of the period but it is architecturally and materially untypical of Tavistock.
