Improve This Listing

At the top of a rather hilly town, this open-plan pub should suit most tastes. A former smithy, its rambling open-plan interior follows a fairly traditional format, although it has an unusual bar ceiling. Mainly a locals' watering hole, it is also popular with walkers, and is said to have a ghost, which swings one of the miner's lamps. A collection of shoes and clogs adorns one of the bar walls; the late comedian Toomy Cooper donated a pair of his size 14s. The pub offers TV screens for live sport, and live music on Saturday evenings. The resident ghost is said to swing one of the miners' lamps on occasion.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Although refitted in the late 1940s, the original plan of four small rooms plus off-sales remains discernible at this 19th-century stone-built pub. A panelled passage leads from the front door to the former off-sales hatch, to the left of which is a small old counter. Front left, the small ‘Commercial Room’ has an inter-war fireplace and old wall cupboards; the original door is the now half-height one in the passage, the currently used opening coming later. Another small room, front right, was once a ladies’ parlour and has old panelling and another wall cupboard. A wide gap leads into the main bar with a counter that is older than it looks (in features in a photo taken in the late 1940s), plus panelled walls and a brick fireplace. A cottage on the left was incorporated into the pub, adding two more rooms. No food Monday or Tuesday.

General information about historic pub interiors

19th century stone built multi-roomed pub originally three cottages that was a blacksmiths and bar. Following a change of landlord in c1947 it would appear there was a refit. The original plan of four small rooms and an off-sales can be easily made out. A passage with old half-height tongue and groove panelling painted light green from the front door leads to what was the off sales hatch. Small room on the front left has a 'Commercial Room' etched window, a 1930s brick fireplace painted pale green and old wall cupboards. On the front right is another small room, formerly a ladies parlour, with remnants of an old fireplace, but the dado panelling may be modern and has been painted cream.

A wide gap leads into the main bar, which appears to be a small room extended back in the 1950s when a replacement bar counter was inserted to cover the enlarged room. It has a 1950s brick fireplace with a log fire in the rear part and panelled walls painted cream in both areas. To the left of the off-sales hatch there is a small old bar counter with the front painted pale green and a cupboard in the left part. A cottage on the left has been incorporated into the pub, which has added two small rooms with another small oldish counter.
