Historic Interior

(Pub, External). Published on 31-05-2013

This Pub is Closed Long Term

A friendly and comfortable two-bar pub with plenty of character. Interesting memorabilia, old photos of the town and a collection of water jugs all serve to add to the warm atmosphere.

Historic Interest

A Public House has stood here since the mid-nineteenth century. This property was damaged by bombing in July 1941 and reopened in August 1944.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Although built around 1850, the glazed brick frontage here is early 20th century and the top storey is a post-war replacement following bomb damage. Star attraction is the small room rear left with its fielded panelled walls to picture frame height, a hatch for service and a bar-back (probably from 1958) decorated with small pieces of glass. The L-shape of the bar betrays the removal of the off-sales shop whose door is still visible outside. The bar counter is old (with front panels added some 30 years ago) and the bar-back, dado panelling and fixed seating all date back at least 50 years. A hole was cut in the wall between the lounge and former off-sales when the latter was combined with the public bar. Pity that much of the woodwork has been painted over.

General information about historic pub interiors

Built c.1850 it has a glazed brick frontage from the early 20th century. The pub was bombed during WWII and the top storey replaced in 1956-8. The star here is the small room on the rear left with its fielded panelled walls to picture frame height (sadly painted over in recent years), a hatch for service and a bar back with small glass pieces that probably dates from 1958. The L-shaped public bar is a result of the removal of the off-sales shop on the front left into the bar (date unknown). The door is still visible on the exterior; note the markings on the floor of the hockey when the dart board was on the wall between the bar and the off-sales. The bar counter is old ( with front panels added some 30 years ago), and the bar back, dado panelling and the fixed seating are all over 50 years old. A hole was cut in the wall between the lounge and the former off sales to link the rooms when the latter was combined with the public bar. Again, in recent times the woodwork in the public bar has been painted over.
