Restoration

This pub, a Grade II-listed building from 1898 opposite the station, won the 2021 Historic England Award for Conservation. This beautiful, classic pub had been closed and was in poor condition before extensive repairs to the external fabric began in 2018. The interior has been restored to its tiled and wood-panelled glory. New toilets, a marble top bar counter have all helped a superb transformation into a smart and welcoming pub that is a homage to its past, with beautiful stained glass and tiling, good use of wood panels and floorboards and a collection of old photos of the town, the railway and rugby league. It feels like a grand old pub and is a great example of how refurbishments can be both smart and traditional. There is accommodation upstairs. Real ales and lunches are served.
