Historic Interest
Originally separate rooms for the Great Northern and Midland Railway parcels offices, which had goods inwards and goods outwards offices within the station complex. In 1916 it became the dedicated Midland Parcels Office covering both goods inwards and goods outwards. Following its demise as a parcels office it has variously been a second hand furniture shop, a musicians centre, and a cafe. Some people may recognise the location from films and TV productions such as Yanks (1979), and you too can stand on the footbridge (but not the roof).
This Pub serves no changing beers and 2 regular beers.
