Woolpack, Louth Riverhead

One of the Riverhead's two public houses from the days of canal traffic. It was built shortly after the canal opened in 1770. It had its own brewery, and stables for the farm horses which brought corn and wool to the Riverhead and took away cottonseed, linseed and groceries. It is still a thriving pub of great character. Close behind the Woolpack was the other pub, The Ship, which has now been demolished.
