Cliff Inn, Crich

Built c.1800, now largely unchanged since the 1960s, this three storey gritstone pub may have previously been a quarryman’s cottage. It was last refitted in c.1960 and has been barely changed since. There is an off sales hatch as you enter. To the left the small lounge bar appears to have been enlarged in c.1960 by absorbing a passageway at the rear hence the wide arch cut into a wall and beyond this is some fixed seating of the same style as that in the rest of the room. In common with refits of the early 1960s it has a bar counter fronted in stone and in 2005 the Formica top was replaced by one of carved oak. The bar back looks very 1960s with its glass shelves and there is a brick fireplace of the type seen in the 1950s, and fixed seating is of a 1950/60s style; even the red Formica tables remain.

In the small Tramway room on the right service is via a small hatch with double windows and a stone counter front situated on a tiled plinth. There is a small Tudor arch shaped ceramic fireplace of c.1960, more fixed seating of a 1950/60s style. The gents' survived the refit unaltered.
