History: Sold by auction Oct 2018 for £285,000 with planning consent for housing construction. This was a former Bass estate house dating from the 1960s. It consisted of two large rooms separated by a central bar. Its name is in honour of a very successful racehorse that had links to the Hardy's Crown Brewery (taken over by Bass). The Hardys brewery also brewed a "Happy Man Ale" at one point.

Historic Interest

Built c.1962 for the Bass Brewery estate. Prior to its final closure it was closed and boarded 1/9/2010, then re-opened from 1/12/2011.
