One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

This pub retains a now opened-out three-room layout, the last major changes having been made back in the 1950s. In the middle is the main bar with a bare wood floor, a (possibly) 1950s counter with matchboarded front. There is a small 1930s brick fireplace and wall benches on three sides near the window. A gap formed by partial wall removal accesses the room on the right which is down a step and has a large inglenook fireplace. Behind the TV is an old wheel in which a dog would turn the spit in the inglenook, by way of a connecting pulley! The counter here is of a style seen in the 1950s and the bench seating is similar. Note the wheel with ten segments mounted on the ceiling for playing ‘twister’, a game of chance, far removed from its more popular location in East Anglia. There is a large gap to the left-hand room which has a 1930s-style brick fireplace and is now the restaurant area with modern tables and chairs installed in 2018. This room has a collection of memorabilia about the Polish airmen stationed at the nearby airfield during World War II.

General information about historic pub interiors

Last major changes made in the 1950s and retains a now opened out three room layout. In the middle is the main bar with a bare wood floor, a c1950s counter with match-board front, with a distinct slope down towards the servery/staff. The bar back fitting is of shelving on a dado of tongue and groove with spindlewood columns. There is also a small 1930s brick fireplace and wall benches on three sides near the window. A gap and part wall removed to the room on the right which is down a step and has a large inglenook fireplace. Behind the TV is an old wood turning wheel in which a dog would turn the spit in the inglenook, by way of a connecting pulley! The counter here is of a style seen in the 1950s, more wall bench seating possibly c50s. Note the twister (spinning wheel) on the ceiling - these are normally only seen in Norfolk! Large gap to the left room which has a brick fireplace of c1930s and is now the restaurant area with modern style tables and chairs fitted out in 2018 - note the memorabilia of when Polish airmen were stationed nearby in WWII (photos, uniform etc).
