The Seven Stars Inn was run by an old couple who eventually retired
c2002. As their parlour-pub was attached to a much larger one, it was easy
to miss it. |

This
grade-II listed
pub has now reopened. |

When I visited in 2005, the beer was
Burtonwood bitter on gravity served in the rear room. The brother died in
2006 and the pub closed. His sister, Hilda, lived there until her death. The
Halfway House next door then occasionally opened the pub as an additional
drinking space. The Seven Stars then became a holiday let and one of the
seating bays was removed.In 2019 the Halfway House was closed and boarded. |
