Hatfield House

The frontage, with plenty of ceramic work, is as ornate as at the more famous Crown. It was put up in the 1880s by entrepreneurs, Braithwaite and McCann whose names are commemorated in elaborate ironwork over the front doors. The interior has a stunning bar-back in a mixture of styles, and an impressive semicircular bar counter. You can trace in the floor the evidence of former snugs, like those at the Crown which ringed the sides of the pub – they would have presented a superb sight: one open snug has survived between the two front entrance doors. The area on the left has been opened up: it is said that originally it was a doctor’s surgery!
