Built in the late 1800s, the Wonder retains its layout of two bars and between them an off sales (no longer in use) and many fittings from a refit of 1929 remain.
Named after an early 19th century stagecoach that did the London-Shrewsbury journey in just under sixteen hours. The left-hand public bar had a servery added for the first time in 1929 so the bar-back, and bar counter with vertical panelling are from this date as is the matching dado panelling and the brick fireplace. The bar counter and panelling has all been painted a dull blue.
A passage runs between the two bars. The small right-hand saloon bar received a new servery in 1929 so the mirrored bar-back, and small bar counter also date from then. The dado panelling and brick fireplace also date from then and, like that in the public bar, the panelling is also painted blue. The two U-shaped pieces of fixed seating also look old.

This is the venue for what is now very rare Old Tyme Singalong on Saturday evening from 9pm and Sunday from 4.30 to 7.30 with Honky Tonk Dave on the piano and Mick on the spoons!
