History: Originally the Windsor Castle, a vast Wilsons pub at the very centre of things on once bustling Castle Street. It had a smart lounge, central bar, and a large vault with a pool table. Tasteful decor of part panelling and mirrors. It sold cask Boddingtons Bitter in the eraly 2000s. During its time, it suffered from several ill-judged refurbishments and name changes (Jonjo Greene's, Sports, and Joseph Worrall) to end its days a sad and gloomy keg spot.
Historic Interest
1896 acquired with Joseph Worrall's Brewery, it became a Wilsons Brewery house
