One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

One-time coaching inn beside the ancient river bridge and in the shadow of the ‘old’ A1 flyover. Its generous rooms surround a wide hallway lobby and, whilst the interior may have seen better days, the hallmarks of a stylish inter-war makeover are still very much in evidence. Leaded glass abounds and the shuttered bar-counter and colourful lobby skylight are especially noteworthy. The front-left lounge retains panelling and bell-pushes while the fittings and effects in the back games room convey a distinct pre-war character there.
