One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Stone-built, edge-of-town pub with an unspoilt public bar and extended lounge. The lobby has bare seating and beyond the front door is a tiny area with a blue brick floor in front of a hatch-split door for staff, formerly accessing the off-sales with a new bar top, and old painted dado panelling. A door on the left leads to a splendid small public bar with a bare wood floor, very old dado panelling painted blue with bare benches attached, a baffle/draught screen by the door and window seating. The central servery has a counter front with a ribbed hardboard frontage which may have replaced a hatch in the 1950s; the bar-back shelving was added in the late 1990s to replace shelves on a mirrored backing. Note the old meat store on the rear wall. On the right, through a part glazed door, is the two-part lounge with old dado panelling painted deep red. Service is via a hatch with two open small windows and Formica top. The old stone fireplace has signs of a bread oven. Curtains divide the lounge from the dining room, occupying a modern extension.

General information about historic pub interiors

Stone built pub situated on the edge of Bradford-on-Avon with an unspoilt public bar and extended lounge. The lobby has bare seating and the front door leads into a tiny area with a blue brick floor in front of a hatch / split door for staff, formerly the off sales with a new bar top, and old dado panelling painted orange. Door on the left with the figure '1' on it leads to a splendid small public bar or snug with a bare wood floor, very old dado panelling painted orange with bare benches attached, a baffle/draught screen by the door and window seating. There is a heavily pitted bench with a small baffle under the dartboard. The central servery has a counter front with a ribbed hardboard frontage so it may have replaced a hatch in the 1950s; the bar back shelving was added in the late 1990s to replace shelves on a mirrored backing and there is an early 20th century light brown tiled and wood surround fireplace. Note the old spice cupboard on the rear wall of the public bar.

On the right a part glazed door with the figure '2' on it leads into a two-part lounge with old dado panelling painted a deep red, service is via a hatch with two small windows always open and Formica top. The old stone fireplace has signs of a bread oven and now has a wood burner; the floor is of wood laminate. In the top left hand corner is evidence that a staircase has been taken out, no doubt at the same time as the remodelling which removed the back wall. The room is therefore now open to the dining room at the rear in an extension added in the 1990s, which also saw the toilets brought inside. On the left of the public bar, the old kitchen is now the card room with modern dado panelling painted deep red, a latch door, an old disused brick fireplace and a single oval table.
