Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Most of what you see here dates from a 1950s Home Brewery refurbishment of what had been two distinct Victorian buildings. The lounge has its original copper-topped counter but was extended eastwards in the 1970s to create two seating bays and most fittings are from that time. The bar is more authentically a product of the austere Fifties - counter with a Formica top, simple bar back and fixed seating and period fireplace. The adjacent cricket ground is where the legendary Harold Larwood first played, hence the memorabilia inside the pub.

General information about historic pub interiors

1950s Home Brewery refurbishment of two distinct 19c buildings. The Lounge has a structural feature central fireplace all with good quality joinery. all doors and seating are intact. One new uPVC window. Bar fittings are slightly altered but bench seating and fireplace intact. 50’s Extension includes lavatory block, all very intact with good doors. Bar has an alcove which may have led to the exterior prior to rebuild.

Bar does look late 1950s - counter with Formica top, bar back, fixed seating and brick fireplace of that date. Lounge has a counter that could be late 50s with copper top BUT locals insist the room was extended to the east, where there are two seating bays, in the 1970s. The toilets with inter-war looking windows do look a later addition. The adjacent cricket ground was where England cricket legend Harold Larwood first played - there is a plaque on the wall in the pub to celebrate the fact as well as photographs and copies of Larwood's birth and marriage certificates.
