Wharf, Hinckley

1930s pub with mock Tudor exterior retaining a close to original floor plan and many original fittings. At the front are three small rooms but the middle one appears to have lost a partition making it open onto the servery area. All three rooms retain their 1930s brick and wood surround fireplaces now covered by radiators. The room on the right has original fixed seating on two sides; the room in the middle has settle-like seating created by a panelled partition; and the left room has a panelled dado, service from a hatch and is home to a Leicestershire Cheese Skittle table that originally came from another pub. In the centre of the pub, the servery retains an original bar counter and the passageway alongside it with fielded panelling to picture frame height is a popular drinking area.

At the rear the larger lounge retains a tall 1930s brick fireplace and fixed seating around the room but the bar counter has seen some changes (possibly changed from a hatch?) - bits of 1950s ribbed hardboard suggest changes around the late 50s. On the left side of the pub is a door that originally led to the off sales (and which now appears to be a kitchen). The name comes from the small arm of the Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal that runs to the back of the pub.

Windows have been replaced.
