A back street local converted from four small rooms to two separate narrow bars in the early 1960s and barely changed since. Note the excellent 'Parlour' and 'Vaults' decoratively etched and frosted exterior windows. The right hand public bar with its lino floor has a plain counter and ply panels with shelves for a bar back. There are a couple of 1960s gas fires where old fireplaces were originally. The carpeted lounge on the left has a leatherette fronted and Formica top bar, 1960s fixed seating, but a modern brick fireplace. Although plain and of minimal architectural merit small drinkers pubs like this are disappearing fast so visit it while you can
