History: For a time it was named Peninsula, originally it was the Talbot. Prior to closure and demolition, this offered bright walls and dim lighting in the large main bar with decks set up for music to come. It was clearly aimed at a younger market. However, the quite sophisticated food menu (served mainly in a separate room) and the comparatively high price of beer (£2.50 a pint at the time in 2008) indicated an intention to attract a more up-market crowd.
Historic Interest
Began life as the Talbot, eventually morphing into the Ladybarn.
