Bought by the Burton Bridge Brewery in 2011 in its one and only foray into Derbyshire, this cosy local is located at the end of an 18th-century terrace of cottages.
Internally, it features a narrow central bar with a small room at one end served through a hatch, and an impressive oak panelled room at the other, plus a meeting/club/TV room to the rear. A hallway houses a small library where books are available to borrow or exchange.
A selection of Belgian bottled beers, English fruit wines and malt whiskies are also stocked. Food limited to filled cobs Saturday lunchtime and a cheese board Sunday lunchtime.
A semi-permanent marquee now occupies the former car park.
Historic Interest
Originally built in the 18th-century as a cottage, but became a beer-house in the 19th-century (earliest record 1835, although its name is not mentioned until 1874), probably for the benefit of workers employed at a brick-works to the rear. Grassy hillocks, the remains of the clay workings, can still be seen behind the pub. Privately owned until ~1878, when bought by the Ratcliff family (of Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton). It became and remained a Bass pub until 1989, when it was sold to a private owner. It continued as a privately-owned free-house until sold to Hardys & Hansons in 2005, shortly before H & H were taken over by Greene King in 2006. The pub was bought by the Burton Bridge Brewery in November 2011.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 4 regular beers.
Brickmakers Arms, Newton Solney
