This pub is slightly tucked away from its junction with the “now pedestrianised” Bridge Street. The pub is actually situated at the eastern, cul-de-sac end of Castle Street, although pedestrian access with Bridge Street has been maintained via a short footpath. According to a declaration on its exterior plasterwork, the pub was rebuilt in 1926. From then onwards - if not before - it was an Anchor Brewery “tied house” owned by Henry Tomlinson Ltd of Cherry Street, Sheffield. The glazed amber-coloured faience (tiles) may be “Bermantofts” pottery (named after a suburb of Leeds) where Messrs Wilcox and Co. traded between 1879-1957. During this period they produced decorative bricks and tiles in orange or buff-coloured architectural terracotta tiles (faience) and glazed brick. The pub last reopened in October 2015 after being upgraded.
