This Pub is Closed Long Term

A rebuild in 1963 of an older pub on the site, which was demolished for road schemes. Designed by R W Cooper & Partners for Shipstone's Brewery of Nottingham. Acquired by RBNB (Oakwell Brewery) in about 1997. A corner pub with an interesting prominent curved frontage. The interior comprised a hall in the apex with its own off-sales counter and a traditional style room each side; it was completely unaltered since new until July 2004, when some alterations took place. The pub closed in May 2013 with the closure of Oakwell Brewery. In early 2018, it reopened under the name 'Shakespeares House' with a completely rebuilt interior involving much rustic woodwork in the right-hand room, and modern decor in the left-hand room.
