Asset of Community Value

Terraced pub converted from a pair of cottages and run on traditional lines. The public bar on the left retains fittings from the 1950s - parquet floor, bar counter, ply panelling on some walls, brick fireplace and upholstered benches. The bar has moved position (when?) to gain better access to the cellar. The saloon bar on the right has a parquet floor, another 1950s bar counter.
