This pub was closed and boarded-up 11th July 2012 and has now been demolished for redevelopment as dwellings. History: Originally opened in August 1968, it was built by Young's and named after their head horse-keeper who had joined the firm in 1923 and retired in 1966. On the left there is a public bar and, on the right, a pair of interconnected rooms which are named together as 'Saloon Lounge' on the outside door.

Change of use from Public House (drinking establishment - Class A4) to Residential (Class C3) and the construction of residential block consisting of 9 apartments on 4 floors plus Basement Car Parking.
