Formerly a Post Office this building was converted by Wetherspoons to a pub in 2002. Arnold Machin was a Stoke-on-Trent sculptor who designed the bust of Queen Elizabeth II and was used on postage stamps first issued in 1967, and on the then new decimal coinage that appeared in 1968. Between 1959 and 1967 Machin was Master of Sculpture at the Royal Academy School.
