Hole in t' Wall, Bowness-on-Windermere (New Hall Inn)

Lowside, Bowness-on-Windermere, LA23 3DH (View on Google Map)

Originally a coaching inn, both the main bar and lower room cater for both locals and visitors. Regular live music especially on the patio in summer. Cask ales are served on handpump from Robinsons brewery.

Historic Interest

17th century building, formerly a farm house but in pub use for at least 200 years. However, most of what we see today dates from an extensive refurbishment in the 1960s. Entrance is through the original farm house door, then a short corridor and a stone arch into the pub. On the left is what was the snug while on the right was the main bar - it's all one room now. The snug section has good panelling (possibly old) and a curious small door to the non-public area. In the main bar area the long bar counter is a real mish-mash, constructed from bits of old churches, which is where a lot of the furniture and fittings came from. Part of the ceiling sports a superb moulded section which apparently came from a four-poster bed! The cast-iron fireplace pre-dates the renovations. A small, low corridor leads to the back room, at a lower level; this was formerly a Blacksmith's shop - not sure when it was incorporated into the pub. It has rough cast walls, slate floor, a good timbered ceiling and ex-church stained glass windows. The Hole in't wall is between this room and the main bar and was supposedly used by the landlord to pass pints to the blacksmith.
