One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A grand Tudor-style public house rebuilt by the Star brewery in two phases, the left-hand part in 1936 but redevelopment of the old pub and its site delayed completion until 1939. It had five rooms up until at least the mid-1960s. The left-hand public bar (two rooms in the past) has a panelled dado (now sadly painted pale grey, as elsewhere) and brick fireplace, and a counter with an unusual concave curved section: the bar-back is modern. The right-hand bar consisted of three rooms in the past and has two 1930s Tudor-style fireplaces, fielded panelling and original panelled counter with another unusual concave curved section. The front central door (believed to have led into an off-sales shop) is now blocked-up. Just up the road is the Lamb, a wonderful, venerable pub with medieval origins but pretty much opened out: the servery there seems to date from about 1960.

General information about historic pub interiors

An improved public house built c. 1936-8, by the Star brewery in Neo-Tudor. It did have 5 rooms up until at least the mid-1960s, but still has two with separate entrances. The left hand public bar, which was two rooms in the past, now with carpet floor, fielded panelled dado painted fawn, small 1930s brick fireplace with changes, counter looks original 1930s and with an unusual concave curved section in the centre and painted cream, bar back is modern, three old urinals in the gents on the left.

The right hand bar was three rooms in the past and has two good 1930s Tudor flat arched stone fireplaces with semi-glazed brick interior, 1930s fielded panelling to two-thirds height painted fawn, original fielded panelled bar counter with an unusual concave curved section in the centre and painted cream, bar back is part old, part new. On the left where there is no panelling was possibly the off-sales (or a fifth room?). The front central door and door to the front right bar are now blocked-up. There is a tiny area in the right hand bay window and a panelled passage to the toilets - the gents' has three original urinals.
