  • Historic Interior

This Grade II listed building was probably purpose-built as a pub/hotel in the 1870s and survives as a multi-roomed public house, despite some remodelling in the 1930s which removed partitioning from the main bar. It still retains the original Victorian bar with its renowned Lighthorseman lantern, large windows and high ceilings. French doors lead from the dining area at the rear into an attractive beer garden. One of three Thwaites’ tied houses in York.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Probably built as a pub/hotel in the 1870s, it has quality elements in its bar fittings and its window and door detailing, and keeps a sense of its old layout, although Victorian partitioning had already gone from the main front bar by the 1940s. Statutorily listed in 1994 (following CAMRA's York pilot study for English Heritage) but the original plan-form has since been further eroded.
