29/12/23 - report from a visitor, "Hand pump clips turned round when visited. One of the pump clips was Timothy Taylor Landlord."

Aug 2022 - this pub is now open after its recent makeover. "I had a look inside but as it was mid-morning I did not follow the example of a few punters and get a drink. Had I done so, and wanted cask, I could have chosen between Timothy Taylor Landlord and Five Points XPA."

July 2022 - We understand that it has had a comprehensive refurbishment, preceding what will be a grand re-opening and a reversion to its old name (minus the word 'Tavern').

When this pub changed its name to Tommy Flynns (thenjust Flynns) it counted as a pub converting to real ale. It had had a handpump which had not been used for many years brought back into use. but that did not last. The former name - Hercules is pretty permanent signage, you'd make a mess removing it!
