First licensed in 1750, this grade II listed pub was rebuilt in 1898 and still retains many original fittings such as engraved glasswork, mirrors, servery mahogany, and ceiling Lincrusta panels. Called the Bricklayers Arms until 1887 and once owned by the family-run Liberty department store which had plans to use it as a storehouse but then sold it off.
The ground floor bar is split level with a further room upstairs doubling as a restaurant and function room. Note the unusual raised snug at the rear with skylight and rails. The wide food menu includes click-and-collect and takeaway options.
Clachan is a Scottish word for hamlet but it is not known what the connection was; mosaics at the entrances spell out the pub name.
Historic Interest
Grade II listed, Historic England reference 1061360.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
Built in 1898, the Clachan (a Scottish word for hamlet) retains plenty of original Victorian glazing and woodwork
Two of the three entrances (one no longer in use) have mosaic flooring bearing the name of the pub. That on the Kingly Street side (with ornamental tiles on the wall) leads to a mosaic corridor which originally led to a door to the rear of the pub. All the internal divisions have gone and now one can circumnavigate the very impressive servery with its mahogany fittings. Much of the timber and etched and cut glass screenwork between the front and back parts of the pub is still in situ, but the gantry on the counter is a modern addition. The ceiling is richly treated with Lincrusta panels. A notable and unusual feature is the raised snug at the rear with its iron rails and skylight. The Liberty Dining Room upstairs has a good fireplace (but modern bar fittings). The pub was once owned by the family-run Liberty department store which had plans to use it as a storehouse but sold it in 1993.
