One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Built in 1936. The bar parlour on the right has a blocked-up door leading originally to the off-sales that ran down the middle of the present room i.e. it was a bar and a snug until it was all knocked into one in the 1980s. The main bar has fully panelled walls to picture frame height, a bar counter with leaded panels reaching to the ceiling but a new counter top and a bar-back that is a mixture of old and new. The original revolving door has been replaced by exterior and inner doors but panelling around it gives a sense of the 1930s arrangement. The small lounge has fixed seating that may be original.
