  • Historic Interior

Cosy three room pub situated close to St. Mary's Bridge. Two well furnished bars with a smaller snug at the rear. One open real fire & two wood burning stoves keep the pub cosy in colder weather. Stancill Barnsley Bitter is the regular ale served all week, with one or two guest ales available from Friday over the weekend into the following week, until it runs out.. These are frequently from the Stancill portfolio, but other breweries do appear. Appears in the Yorkshire Guide to Heritage Pub Interiors. The pub is frequented by local acoustic musicians and also hosts poker nights.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Built just before the First World War by the Sheffield brewers Ward’s (to 1913 designs by H L Tacon & Son, a local firm of architects & surveyors) this pub is notable for its well-preserved stained and leaded windows; also for an intact little bar parlour which, with its original fireplace and oak furnishings, is a true delight. The adjoining smoke room, though partly opened-up, has some authentic fittings too, but the spacious separate tap room has none. The screenwork around the servery would once have been fitted with sashed windows. Removal of the front off-sales has led to some re-jigging of circulation areas.

General information about historic pub interiors

Built just before the First World War by the Sheffield brewers Ward’s (to 1913 designs by H L Tacon & Son, a local firm of architects & surveyors) this pub is notable for its well-preserved stained and leaded windows. Small panels of white lettering on a blue background have 'Three Horse Shoes' and announce 'Bar Parlour', 'Smoke Room', 'Tap Room' and also 'Club Room' on first floor windows. Front door leads into the off-sales - note the 'Outdoor Dept.' on a window and the disused hatch to the servery. On the right are two rooms off the L-shaped lobby bar, where the bar counter looks old.

The highlight is the intact little bar parlour on the rear right which retains its door with 'Bar Parlour' panel, original oak fixed seating all around the room, its original tiled, cast iron and good wood surround fireplace with a bevelled mirror in the mantelpiece above. The adjoining smoke room which has a widish gap / arch entrance also retains its original fixed seating but has a modern brick fireplace. A door on the left of the entrance leads to the Tap Room which retains an old fireplace but the counter is modern.
