One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

This is now a small single room pub, formerly known as the Prince Arthur, with a servery and bar back that appear to be pre-war. Plans from 1928 reveal, however, that there were at that time three tiny rooms (saloon at the rear of the pub, public and private bars to the front with separate entrances directly from the street into the two front bars) with a bar counter configured to serve both the public and private bars. There does not appear to have been a separate off sales. Since then the servery has been narrowed but also lengthened by means of the removal of a staircase, and the partitions between the three rooms have been removed with the overall size of the bar area increased by moving the WC to the rear of the pub.
