  • Historic Interior

This Grade II listed Yorkshire Heritage pub dates from the 16th century and was named the Blue Ball in 1823. The low frontage hides a maze-like interior with the frontward cosy bar, compact servery and linking corridor retaining most of the pub's historical flavour. A smoking area is located at the rear of the pub. Home-cooked food is available Thurs.-Sun.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

In a building dating from 1714, and much-altered over the years, the Blue Ball preserves a historic core of two small front rooms and panelled passageway, where something of its antiquity can still be appreciated. The compact smoke room retains its bench seating, boarded ceiling and old corner counter. The public bar, completely wood-panelled, has a stable door/hatch to the servery. The opening in the wall between these two old rooms is the result of a 1990s refurbishment but could hopefully be redeemed at some time.
