What looks like an old country pub is actually a conversion that took place around the 1990s. Previously it was Westend Farm which dates back to at least 1621 and was probably a rebuild of a much earlier dwelling. The farm was engulfed by the westward expansion of the town during the last decade of the 20th century and was converted along with some of the outbuildings into a pub to serve the new community. The old farm pond can be partially seen in the foreground.
