This pub opened in 1859, at which time it had its own in-house brewery.  It was acquired by Truman’s Brewery and rebuilt in 1895.  By the 1980s it was a Whitbread’s house.

My Grandfather Ernest Butterfield and his brother Arch (piano) performed in an upstairs room song and dance (black and white minstrels). My mother helped her mother Ada make sandwiches and carry them up to the pub for the interval.

At the rear of the pub but adjoining it was a large separate room which boasted two full size snooker tables. Very popular.

Name Dates Comments Christine Swainson mid 1970s I was a barmaid. Wally was the publican and his wife was Renee (I think) There was a garden in the front which was popular in the summer. In the summer there was a large block of ice on the counter around which they put drinks to cool as they didn't have fridges. It was a regulars pub and people were specific to the public, saloon bars or snooker room. I met my husband there. I remember some of the regulars
