A large, modern pub built in 1970 as part of the Heatherside development for the new community, and serves it well. It is one of the few post-war pubs to be listed, having secured listing in May 2018.
Pub was taken over by Blackrose Pub in 2019 and reopened on 31st October 2019 following a £400,000 refurbishment. The layout of the main bar has altered, the Sports Bar extended and a large mezzanine level.
The ground floor comprises 2 bars, one being a "Sports Bar" including darts and pool, while the main bar is split up into a number of cosy areas with lounge furniture, as is the upstairs seating area. TV's are located in strategic places for sports events, and the front garden area is well used during the summer months.
Historic Interest
Built in 1970 under direction from pub designers John and Sylvia Reid, served the new residential estate Heatherside. The experimental design features a decagonal ratchet-wheel layout, around a central chimney column. The stepped roof profile creates spaces filled with glazed panels, forming a series of windows at high level. Today the pub still has its 1970s features: woodwool ceiling panels, exposed brick, and quarry tiles. (Source BBC Website
