Conversion

A Grade ll-listed building that dates from mid C19 when it was a 'bridewell', meaning a jail. It was a police station until the 1930s and converted to pub use in 2003. The pub retains many of the building’s original features such as vaulted brick ceilings and a stone-flagged bar area. The plain brick cells provide the seating area for the downstairs bar and will be unusual surroundings for drinking, for most people. There is an outdoor area inside the wall at the front. Real ales but no food.
