The Old Station Yard, Station Road, Hadnall, SY4 3DD
Smallish two-bar very traditional pub of probably Victorian origin on a main trunk road. The bar occupies a central space of horseshoe shape and it and the bar back are of interest of the period as well as old features in the windows (coloured glass and etched glass) and the cellar opening. A visitor has said, "that the manager is from Suffolk and insists on good beer and keeping the lines clean."
Named after Sir Hugh Myddleton, who cut the New River, to bring water from Hertfordshire to London. Split level garden with shelter and heating. Pleasant walled garden at the rear accessible by steps down from the bar.
Historic Interest
English Heritage Grade II listed:- Probably early C19 with mid-C19 alterations. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stucco, roof obscured by parapet. Three storeys, three-window range to Canonbury Road and to Canonbury Grove. Principal pub front in Canonbury Road: ground floor divided into five bays by wooden pilasters, presumably C19 in date; the doors and window mid-to-late C20. Fascia between ornate console stops. First-floor windows flat-arched with moulded stucco architraves, the middle one with pediment on console, outer ones with cornice on consoles; these windows have piano nobile proportions; second-floor windows flat-arched with moulded stucco architraves partly obscuring presumably earlier gauged brick heads; the middle window blank. Stucco frieze, cornice and blocking course. Canonbury Grove front has ground floor decorated with banded rustication with one flat-arched window and one broad segmental-arched opening, with late C19 tripartite doorcase with engraved glass. Upper floors repeat the arrangement in Canonbury Road, except that the central first-floor window is blank. Stack breaks through blocking course. Inside the only C19 or early C20 features are the bar counters in the front and back bar and the cornice of the bar-back in the front bar.
Probably early C19 of three-storeys in brick and retaining original bar fittings.
Has a small front bar with genuinely old bar counter having decorative brackets painted a gastro light green and with an original top. A panelled dado is also painted a gastro light green colour and it has a bare wood floor. The bar back is much changed but there are two pilasters with detailed capitals that are old and painted a gastro light green colour as is the top section that has an original wood stained but the modern brick shaped tiles and wine racks etc. distract. Two front doors indicate a partition lost.
A doorway to the rear room also with bare wood floor and there is another old panelled bar counter which is sloping towards the top usually indicating inter-war but the listed description states this is “C19 or early C20” and is also painted a gastro light green with an old wooden top. The large upper structure is modern. Thereis a good wood surround fireplace painted bright blue with detail picked out in gold (reclaimed brick interior?) and a round mirror in the mantelpiece. Dado panelling around the room might be old but painted a gastro light green colour.
The pub is named after Sir Hugh Myddleton, who cut the New River, to bring water from Hertfordshire to London.
