Built 1937 of brick with herringbone brick and brewers Tudor first floor. It retains its layout of three rooms and the off-sales is intact but used for storage. The public bar on the left retains its original counter but the bar back fitting dates from c.2003. A lot of the original dado panelling remains with bare benches attached and a 1930s brick fireplace but painted cream. Originally you have to go out the bar door and back inside to get to the gents toilets, which have been modernised in 2001, and you can still see the original gents door in the porch. The ladies in the public bar may be a later addition. The lounge on the right was two rooms - it was joined with the dining room in 2001 by the creation of three openings. Although the counter looks original it has been turned through 90 degrees (and is of a different design to that in the bar) but the bar back fitting dates from c.2003. All around the front of the lounge is 1930s fielded panelling and there is a 1930s brick fireplace on the right painted red. In the rear former dining room section there is another original fireplace which is of brick with a stone surround and a hatch to the kitchen. Taking a closer look at the exterior of the lounge and there would appear to have been three doors with the middle one blocked up so possibly there were two rooms at the front? One door on the left hand side of the building has a 'Hotel Accommodation' sign on it.

Update 2014: Converted by Adastra Pub Co. / Wadworths into a family steakhouse and few old fittings remain.
