History: Smallish, one-roomed pub on the busy A6. Plainly, but tidily decorated with Lowry prints and such in the L-shaped room. At lunchtimes the draw was the generous portions of good value food. The pub was sed by a cross-section of the local community including postal workers and town hall staff. There was always a good welcome to strangers. Karaoke and sing-alongs were a feature of Fri, Sat, and Sun evenings. Handy for the rail station, the Grand Central complex, and Central Library.
