Contents

The pub was built in the 18th century, and its windows were altered in the early or mid 19th century. [1] It was altered internally in the 1950s, when the back corridor and smoke room were merged, and a bar counter introduced, with the kitchen ceasing to act as a public room. A rear extension was added, to cater to hikers, which was rebuilt in 1975. [2] It was Grade II listed in 1958. [1] It is listed on the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors as a one-star pub. [2]

The pub was the first to be used for external shots of The Woolpack, the pub on the soap opera Emmerdale . Some pub regulars worked as extras on the series. It also appears in the 2020 series of All Creatures Great and Small . [3] It has been owned by the Miller family since 1874, and is unusual in serving beer directly from a jug. [2]

The stone building has quoins and a stone slate roof. There are two storeys and three bays. The doorway has a fanlight, and a cornice on console brackets. This is flanked by canted bay windows, and the windows in the upper floor are sashes, paired on the left side. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">King and Queen, Brighton</span> Pub in Brighton, England

The King and Queen is a pub in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove. The present building, a "striking" architectural "pantomime" by the prolific local firm Clayton & Black, dates from the 1930s, but a pub of this name has stood on the site since 1860—making it one of the first developments beyond the boundaries of the ancient village. This 18th-century pub was, in turn, converted from a former farmhouse. Built using materials characteristic of 16th-century Vernacular architecture, the pub is in the Mock Tudor style and has a wide range of extravagant decorative features inside and outside—contrasting with the simple design of the neighbouring offices at 20–22 Marlborough Place, designed a year later. English Heritage has listed the pub at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
