This Pub is Closed Long Term

This fine old pub has an enviable riverside location without being quite on the river. The original Old Anchor was over the road on a site on the river that it shared with an almshouse. Three houses on the present site were remodelled to create the new inn with new almshouses next to it when St Helen's Wharf was redeveloped in 1884. There are several small rooms and a courtyard garden. Has become a music venue and closed suddenly. Believed that GK lease expires in June 2023.

Historic Interest

Listed Grade II. Probably C17 with C19 red brick front. Wall listed separately.
