One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
By about 1950 three properties had been amalgamated to form the present pub, now surrounded by a traffic system. The layout of some six rooms or areas still retains quite number of 1950s fittings. The opening up may date from the 1950s or is due to Walkers Brewery's subsequent changes. Many of the areas have fixed seating and there are a couple of Victorian cast-iron fireplaces. There are a number of draught screens and some colourful glazed window screens. A recent change has been the careful shortening of the bar counter in 2005. There is wall-panelling to two-thirds height in most areas.
