This Pub is Permanently Closed
'This 18th Century inn first started life as offices for the Chalk Pit. Accounts can be still seen in the pub and are dated 1793. Opposite the front door tunnels can be seen which used to support a funicular railway built in 1808 by George Shiffner & William Jessop. Once the Chalk was burnt in the kilns (which can also still be seen), the lime was transported down to barges on the river ouse. This lime had many uses, one of which was to be used in agriculture to make soil more alkaline. March 2016 - now an Indian Restaurant and takeaway, still licensed but no real ale.
