This three-storey gritstone pub may well have been a quarryman's cottage when built around 1800. Last refitted in the 1960s, it has changed little since. You enter past an off-sales hatch then, to the left, go into a small lounge bar; this seems to have been enlarged in the refit by absorbing a rear passageway, hence the wide arch cut into the wall. As with many a 1960s scheme, the bar counter is fronted in stone while the bar back, with its glass shelves, is also very much of the era. The brick fireplace and fixed seating date from this time as well and even the red Formica tables survive. On the right, service to the little Tramway Room is via a small hatch with double windows and a stone counter front. More 1960s features can be found here, including a Tudor arch-shaped ceramic fireplace.
Built c.1800, now largely unchanged since the 1960s, this three storey gritstone pub may have previously been a quarryman’s cottage. It was last refitted in c.1960 and has been barely changed since. There is an off sales hatch as you enter. To the left the small lounge bar appears to have been enlarged in c.1960 by absorbing a passageway at the rear hence the wide arch cut into a wall and beyond this is some fixed seating of the same style as that in the rest of the room. In common with refits of the early 1960s it has a bar counter fronted in stone and in 2005 the Formica top was replaced by one of carved oak. The bar back looks very 1960s with its glass shelves and there is a brick fireplace of the type seen in the 1950s, and fixed seating is of a 1950/60s style; even the red Formica tables remain.
In the small Tramway room on the right service is via a small hatch with double windows and a stone counter front situated on a tiled plinth. There is a small Tudor arch shaped ceramic fireplace of c.1960, more fixed seating of a 1950/60s style. The gents' survived the refit unaltered.
