Contents

The pub was built in 1735, as a coaching inn. It has been considerably altered since, and an ancillary building to the right became ruinous before being restored in the 19th century. [1] The building has served numerous functions, including acting as a meeting place for the local council, a dance hall and a brothel. [2] In the early 21st century, it was owned by the local Naylor's Brewery, but in 2007 it became a free house. [3] It has been grade II listed since 1984. [1]

The pub is built of stone with a stone slate roof, two storeys and three bays. The doorway has a hood mould, and above it is a dated and inscribed plaque. To the right is a doorway with a triangular head that has been converted into a window. Some windows are mullioned with some mullions missing, and others are modern. At the rear is a round-headed doorway with impost blocks and a keystone. On the right are ancillary buildings with an external staircase. [1]
