One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A pub since the 1790s, the Blue Bell was a base for market carriers in its early days and preserves some sense of age in its little left-hand snug and boarded corridor. The back smoke room beyond though, despite the presence of old fitted seating, has clearly been touched by change. The pub underwent refurbishments by Cameron’s brewery of Hartlepool in 1965 and by its present owners, the Tadcaster brewers Samuel Smith’s, in 1986. The latter’s alterations involved a total refit of the plain right hand bar and enlargement of the servery opening to the smoke room.
