This Pub is Permanently Closed

Closed August 2012, reportedly after a long period of poor trade. Changed to a funeral services.

The Trunk' is a Victorian street corner pub fronting on to Hospital Road. Access to the car park is from the main Parkway. Despite overlooking a busy junction the two bars of this community pub have a village local feel to them. The rear bar is the hub for many games teams including football, darts, cribbage, & dominoes. Outside is a large garden with children's play area. The pub stands on "Hellfire Corner", so named because of god-botherers who used to stand here preaching hellfire & damnation. The building dates from the early 19th century.

Historic Interest

Also listed at 3 Hospital rd.
