Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: II

In 1936 Parkers brewery of Burslem reconstructed this late 16th-century timber-framed building (formerly a court house) and its three-roomed interior hasn't changed much since. The lounge bar on the right has a fireplace from the original building plus a Tudor-arch fireplace from the 1936 work - the counter also seems to be from that time though the bar-back is modern. A doorway on the right brings you to a superb snug with completely panelled walls from the first building. A red tiled floor and the fireplace and fixed seating (with barley-twist arms and legs) are from the 1936 scheme. At the back, a small area with period fireplace has a door to a passage leading to the public bar on the left. This has a dado of 1936 fielded panelling which extends to the counter front, both recently painted a cream colour, and the baffle by the front entrance and ceiling roses are also worthy of note (which is not the case with the fireplace and modern bar-back).

General information about historic pub interiors

The structure is late 16th century with a partial timber-frame. It incorporates the former court house of the Manor of Newcastle-under-Lyme. In 1936 a Mrs E A Pattinson sold the Greyhound to Parkers of Burslem brewery who reconstructed the pub and its three roomed interior is little altered since. The right hand entrance leads into the lounge bar which has a 16th century inglenook fireplace with cambered head originally in another room. It contains a very old Tudor arch shaped stone with brick fireplace with wood surrounds and seats either either side. The bar counter looks like the 1930s one painted black and there is an old high backed settle, but the bar back is modern.

A doorway on the right leads to a crackin' little snug which has completely panelled walls from the 16th century, bell pushes, and plain baffles either side of the entrance. It has a mainly red tiled floor, there is a small 1930s brick fireplace with carving in the panelling above and fixed seating with barley twist arms and legs at least 70 years old.

To the rear right of the lounge bar is a small area with a Victorian-style fireplace and a door to a passage which leads to the public bar on the left. This larger room has a dado of 1930s fielded panelling including on the bar counter front, both recently painted a cream colour, a baffle with leaded panel by the front entrance and a number of good ceiling roses. However the fireplace has been replaced and the bar back is modern.

The nearby Marquis of Granby retains a colourful tiled dado on the left hand wall of the lobby and the public bar has what could be an old bar back with mirrors and possibly an old counter.
