Asset of Community Value

A basic back street local built by Charles Wells in 1898 and still retaining three rooms but two have been linked, effectively creating one. From the side door a lobby would originally had an off sales hatch - now blocked-up. Both front bars have old counters, the bar back fittings could be 60's, 70's or even 80's, and the fireplaces in both rooms have been blocked up. At the rear is the lounge which was refitted in the 1960s and retains its sloping counter, back bar fitting, seating bays and fire surround (blocked-up).
