This Grade-II listed pub is situated to the east of the city, at the eastern end of Laira Bridge. The two regular live beers are supplemented by a rotating local guest ale. The pub was constructed in 1824 to house the workers who built the original Laira Bridge. This nearly bankrupted the Morley family, after whom the pub was named after the bridge was completed. Most of the rooms have been opened out but retain the wall beams giving a cosy feel to a visually open area. There is a conservatory and a large garden, and a good-sized car park. The pub came under new management in early 2024. Home-cooked food is served, which has an excellent local reputation. Live music takes place most Saturday evenings. Open for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday from 0900 – 1100.
