First mentioned in the local directory for 1876, old photographs show it was very similar in appearance to the "Spinners Arms" (see: Image] ). It was acquired by the State Management Scheme on 3 August 1916 and was sold to the sitting tenant in 1973 for £6,920. Local records show it was given a "face lift" in 1977 with an extension added in 1988 (possibly the low building to the right). It was renamed "Biddy Mulligan" in 1997, but then banned Irish music in 1998 - which drove customers away! It came under new management on 28 March 2003 when renamed "Knight Inn", but closed on 9 July 2004 due to illness. Now a private dwelling with no public access. See also: Image] .
