Town centre pub built 1868, refitted c.1900, and still retaining its splendid island bar counter with canopy running all the way around. The counter retains old match strikers and water taps both are now no longer in use; the pot shelf is modern. The small island gantry could be over 30 years old, and there are remains of two old fireplaces in this large panelled room. The public bar has been opened-up to the area at rear right.
