Not sure about the original Blue Boar cause the one I remember pre M1 days was The Blue Boar Transport Cafe at the south side of the A45 bout 1.5 miles West of Dunchurch at the junction with what is now the A4071/B4453, better known as the Straight Mile. An old Ordinance Survey map I have of the area dated 1912 shows the now long gone farm on the North of the A45 as "Blue Boar Farm." The old Blue Boar cafe there had a slightly risque reputation and when I used to go there in @ 1962 it had a great juke box. All that's left now is a petrol station. Very interesting post.
