Website

JD Wetherspoon conversion of a traditional grocer's store, with old grocer's chair. Located in the centre of Market Harborough close to the old Grammar school. Prints on the walls describe the history of the building and of the town in general. Children are welcome until 9PM. A small garden is at the rear.

Historic Interest

From Wetherspoon's web site: "This pub was once Thomas Goward’s grocery shop. Founded in 1810, Goward’s traded on this site until 1910, weighing out provisions and cutting sugar by hand from a conical-shaped sugar loaf. In a warehouse behind the shop, Goward’s staff blended tea, ground coffee, chopped sugar, ground spices and washed and polished dried fruit for sale in the shop. In 1871, Goward lived over the shop in a large household, which included his wife and three daughters, three of his shop men and two domestic servants."
