One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

The austere exterior, with modern upvc windows, of this early 1960s pub promises little but inside surprisingly little has changed. From the entrance corridor, the public bar is on the right and has original furniture and benches, bar shelving and counter, though there is some more recent timberwork attached to the counter and side wall. At the back is a little-used lounge/function room with fake timbered walls.

General information about historic pub interiors

Built in about 1960 by Ansells - a brewery doormat survives in the porch - later via Banks's to Punch. It has an austere-looking exterior with modern uPVC windows. The layout looks original. The entrance is into a corridor with the bar on the right - this appears to be in substantially unaltered condition with original furniture and benches, bar shelving and counter, though some modern timber-work has been attached to the counter and side wall. At the back is a lounge-function room with fake timbered walls which appears to be little-used.
