This Pub is Closed Long Term
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
A most impressive, corner site tile and terracotta pub built 1899-1900 and typical of others in the area. Tiled corridor on the left. L-shaped public bar (note the unusual fixed seating with horizontal slats). Original bar counter and bar-back, the latter topped with a balustrade (cf. the White Swan): wall tiling, including a pretty frieze to the same pattern as that at the White Swan. Rear smoke room with fixed seating. Impressive tiled stairway hall. There appears to be what was an off-sales corridor leading off the side road. Currently closed with no indications as to its future, although the interior appears so far to be undisturbed.
UPDATE 2010.
Closed and now used as a studio.
