Built in 1938, and recently refurbished, the pub is one of the original large Garden City pubs with many original architectural features, including the bar.
Built 1940 in neo-Georgian-style by Whitbread & Co; architect Robert G Muir. Sadly the two present bars (the right hand one is currently used as a function room) are modern open-plan rooms. An original staircase leads to the former Club Room, currently used for junior karate, retains its original cheap ply panelled dado all around and there is a small bar also with the same panelling.
