The building was originally the Heath Mount Hotel. In 1978 Wilson's Brewery, won planning permission to turn it into a pub. Extensions were built and it was renamed The Hope in 1981 and run by Tudor Taverns. Later it became the "Inn of Good Hope" and was owned first by the Swindon-based Tatteshall Castle Group and later the Kent based Free Spirit Group. Following an armed raid in February 2007 it was closed and boarded up. It finally re-opened as simply "Hope" and was a John Barras pub until 2015 when it became "The Royal Sovereign" and is part of the Burton on Trent based Spirit Pub Company' "Flaming Grill" range .
