By the time of World War II, the Terminus was a hotel with c.20 letting bedrooms. The licensee during the war was Elizabeth Hobson, who was born in Sheffield. After she was widowed, she owned various pubs. The first was the Millstone at Hathersage in Derbyshire, and then, after her daughter married and moved to Bristol, she took the Terminus Hotel. After the war, she moved to the New Inn at Coalpit Heath, and finally took the Berkeley Castle (Cheltenham Road), before retiring to Weston Super Mare. Her predecessor as licensee at the Berkeley Castle, Alwyn Biggin, had married her sister, Elsie May, and she took over the licence when Alwyn and Elsie emigrated to New Zealand.
