Cheltenham Original Brewery were the owners of the Talbot Inn in 1891 and 1903. The pub was licensed as an ale house and the annual rateable value remained at the same level of £18.10s.0d. throughout those twelve years spanning late Victorian and early Edwardian times.
In its latter days it was a Whitbread tied house and had built itself something of a reputation as a cider pub. The Talbot Inn closed on 2nd February 1984. The pub exterior was extensively altered when the building was converted into three small town houses – 14,14A,14B Duke Street. However, number14A retains the original doorway of the Talbot Inn.
