One-roomed city centre pub, opposite the Regent Theatre, comprised of a comfortably furnished lounge and a popular snug at the rear. Popular with theatre goers, both before and after the show, interval drinks can be pre-ordered. In the alley alongside is a narrow gauge tram track, along which drayman used to deliver barrels. All this interest, plus the resident ghost!

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Many pubs were refitted in the 1960s but nearly all have had subsequent makeovers as tastes changed. This one-room town centre local is an exception. The mock-Tudor fake beams and half-timbering on the walls are redolent of the time, as are the copper-topped bar counter, red upholstered fixed seating and copper-top tables. Before the 1960s there would have been two rooms here, hence the now out-of-use centrally-placed front door. The pub operates as the bar for the Regent theatre opposite - look for the order forms for interval drinks!

General information about historic pub interiors

This one-room town centre local was refitted in the early 1960s and has barely been altered since. Many pubs in the UK received a similar treatment but the vast majority have since been refurbished making the interior of the Unicorn rare. It has 1960s mock-Tudor fake beams and half timbering on the walls; a bar counter with a copper top; red upholstered fixed seating; copper top tables; and a small alcove at the rear. Prior to the 1960s it would have been two small separate rooms - the centrally placed front door is no longer in use. The pub operates as a theatre bar to the Regent across the road - fill in a card with your interval drinks and they will be on the bar when you take your break and a 5 minute warning bell is rung to ensure you get back to your seat in time. Look for the 'rails' in the passageway on the left used to roll barrel of beer to the cellar; and the plaque on the barometer which is upside down!
