Re-built 1924 and still retaining three rooms, with panelling, a part glazed partition wall and leaded glass from that date. On the right is a small L-shaped Public Bar with bare bench seating and bell pushes; the bar back appears to date from the 1920s, but the counter is a replacement - however, the counter on the left hand lobby side with a curved top section would appear to date from the re-build.
Re-built 1924 and still retaining three rooms, a part glazed partition wall and lots of panelling. On the right is a small L-shaped Public Bar which has a modest original bar back with three Tudor arch shaped mirrored bays and two mirror fronted cupboards and is intact with fridges sensibly placed to the side. The counter on the left hand lobby side is definitely from 1924 - note the curved top section - but the rest of the counter is a replacement from c.1971. The public bar has an old fixed bare bench with signs of bell pushes and old dado panelling. On the front left accessed from the vestibule entrance with a ‘Smoke Room’ door leads to a passage and a wide opening with short leaded glass partition lead into a small room on the far left with original fixed seating but the panelling looks modern.
At the rear there is a small bar with a counter installed in c.1971 - previous to this there was a hatch. The bar back shelving on fielded panelling is original and note how the old fixed seating of the previously small rear room has been re-positioned in the rear of the new extension carried out in the early 1970s. There are a a lot of original colourful leaded windows on the exterior and in partitions.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 1 regular beer.
