This is one of that fairly rare breed, a relatively new pub. It is part of the Smith & Jones chain, and opened in June 2006. Prior to that, the building had been used as a branch of Halfords, the motor accessories retailer. At one time it seems this was two buildings. They date from 1871, and were designed by John Cotton. Unfortunately the pub seemed to attract some young people at weekends, whose main objective was, it is claimed, to look for a fight. As a result in 2010 the pub was given a makeover. The TV's, with their emphasis on sport, were taken out and the pub was renamed The Grapevine. It re-opened under this name on the 18th August 2010. This photograph was taken about two months earlier, when it was still The Rousler. Image
