The pub was established in 1830. Abraham Biggs mortgaged his copyhold property in Henlow to John Foster, merchant of Biggleswade in the sum of £60 plus interest. He died in 1834 having left this property to his son David Biggs. James Weston , brewer of Shortmead Street, Biggleswade look over the mortgage and David Biggs continued as licensee of the beer house.

The property included five cottages at the rear, two in The Alley and three in Back Lane. When James Weston died in 1850, his wife Elizabeth went into partnership with her son-in-law George Powers as Weston & Powers in trust for her son James Joseph Weston. When James Joseph Weston attained the age of 21 in 1866, he took his mother's share of the partnership with George Powers. James Joseph Weston was sole owner when he leased the pub to William Smith of Henlow (Brickayer) on 29th September 1874 at a rent of £20 per annum. He put up his brewery at Biggleswade and 17 pubs for sale (including the beer house at Henlow) on 28th May 1875.
