Small pub opened on 13/6/25 at the foot of Pride Hill (Shrewsbury's main shopping street) near the market hall. The downstairs room is part carpeted and has seating by the front window and a couple of other tables to the rear along with a jukebox and a couple of fruit machines. Upstairs is another small room with bare floorboards housing the toilets, a pool table and dartboard. Two handpumps serve a changing beer range which will usually be from local breweries, though some may be from further afield. There is also nine keg taps, some of which serve Greene King "craft" beers which are rarely found in Shrewsbury (Greene King supplied the cellar and pumps with a proviso that at least three of their beers are sold).

The name relates to an obscure local legend that a lamplighter in days of yore saved a girl from drowning in the nearby River Severn and in so doing lost his lantern. He then acquired another which never went out and it guided people home in the darkness. It is hoped that a local artist will paint a mural depicting the story on the wall of the staircase leading to the upstairs room.

A worthy addition to the Shrewsbury pub scene
