Three star - A pub interior of outstanding national historic importance

Listed status: Not listed

Built in 1895, this pub retains much of its original multi-roomed layout along with some attractive old features.

Of the five small rooms here, four are clustered round a central servery. The bar front left has its original counter (incorporating a row of Minton tiles) and bar back and which also serves the tap room on the right. The lounge front right has absorbed the former off-sales; the counter is original but some tiles were damaged and the rest re-used on the rear smoke room counter. The former entrance to this room is blocked up and the fixed seating in front is modern, the rest being original. In the rear smoke room, the counter has been enlarged to the right. The bar back fitting actually consists of what were the exterior windows, removed to create the doorway to the rear dining room (which has no old fittings). On the right are a 1920s fireplace and inter-war fixed seating.

General information about historic pub interiors

Built in 1895, this pub has four small rooms, three of them clustered around a central servery. A triangular tiled porch leads to a small bar on the front left with the original counter incorporating a row of Minton tiles and the original bar back which also serves the tap room on the right. The lounge on the front right is an amalgamation of the outdoor and the lounge - on the bar counter you can see where the partition was situated. This room has the original counter but some tiles were damaged and rest re-used on the rear smoke room counter hence the different tiles on the tap room counter. Original entrance to front right room was on wall near old off-sales door, now blocked-up so the fixed seating in the front of the old door is modern; the bay window and that left of the 1920s tiled and wood surround fireplace is original.

In the rear smoke room the bar counter is larger than originally - the left hand piece is in its original position but the two right hand sections are re-positioning / replacements; the Mintons tiles being transferred from the tap room counter. The bar back fitting in the smoke room is actually the original exterior windows of this room - they were removed to create the doorway to the rear dining room in 1990. On the right is a 1920s tiled and wood surround fireplace and interwar fixed seating. The dining room on the rear right has no old fittings."
