This Pub is Permanently Closed

Converted July 2015 to a short-lived stationers, now it is deli-cum-grocers, prior to that in 10/9/2014 it was a Shisha bar use. No planning application needed.

History: From June 2012 the pub was renamed the Imperial (which was its original name) and was set to reduce in size by closing the front room on the St Peters Square side to concentrate trade on the current back room, which was to be accessed from Piccadilly. With beers from the Thwaites stable it was envisaged that the pub would be a good deal more cosy and bring back the atmosphere that once held sway in the nearby Unity. A convert to cask ale in mid-2011.

Historic Interest

Formerly the Peters Square Tavern, before that the Blarney Stone, a lightly themed Irish pub. In 1949 became a Wilsons Brewery house following merger with Walker & Homfray's Brewery, originally was a Showell's Brewery house, the Imperial Inn.
