Early 19th Century pub, also known as the "Top Tap" and currently the "Phoenix Tap". First recorded in the Cumberland Census of 1861, it was acquired by the State Management Scheme in October 1918. Sold to John Smiths Brewery Group on 1 May 1973, it has suffered recent periods of closure - but is currently trading.
