This Pub is Closed Long Term

Closed 5/8/2016, stripped of signage and boarded up - future uncertain, although owner's Robinsons are known to mothball pubs until better economic times come around.

History: Situated just off Middle Hillgate near Strawberry Studios (where artists such as Joy Division, Neil Sedaka, The Smiths, Stone Roses and Paul McCartney all recorded there) and opposite the site of the 1967 Hopes Carr air disaster (site is marked by blue plaque and memorial stone). It had a well furnished lounge which contained the bar, a vault, games room and snug. The pub was well supported by a dedicated clientele of imbibers and had a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Historic Interest

Acquired by Frederic Robinson with the purchase of the Hempshaw Brook Brewery of Bell & Co, in June 1949.
