History: Smallish, one-roomed pub on the busy A6. Plainly, but tidily decorated with Lowry prints and such in the L-shaped room. At lunchtimes the draw was the generous portions of good value food. The pub was sed by a cross-section of the local community including postal workers and town hall staff. There was always a good welcome to strangers. Karaoke and sing-alongs were a feature of Fri, Sat, and Sun evenings. Handy for the rail station, the Grand Central complex, and Central Library.
Historic Interest
Acquired by Frederic Robinson with the purchase of the Hempshaw Brook Brewery of Bell & Co, in June 1949.
