History
Top Star Taverns Limited was incorporated in 1970. Whitbread Flowers Limited was the major shareholder (51%) with the remaining shares being held by Tuckwell Inns Limited, Leicester. Tuckwell were responsible for the management of the public houses the Company owned.
These houses included: Lemon and Parker, Gloucester Travellers Rest, Ross-on-Wye Lady Godiva, Coventry Bear and Ragged Staff, Kenilworth The Cuty Arms, Earlsden The Anchor Tavern, Stratford-on-Avon Grove House, Swindon The Swinging Plaice, Gloucester and The Kings Head, Hereford.
In February 1973 Whitbread Flowers Limited purchased the remaining shares from Tuckwell Inns Limited as part of the reorganisation of the retail operations of the Western Region of Whitbread and Company Limited. Top Star Taverns Limited ceased trade from this point. The Company entered liquidation in March 1974 (liqudator: Alec E Baldwin of Whitbread Flowers Limited), held its final meeting in December 1974 and was officially dissolved on 18 March 1975.
