Boldron's only pub, much used by the local and visiting quoits teams, on the corner site where West Lane (the main east-west in the village where most houses are situated) and Startforth Lane (off to the left) which heads down to Barnard Castle. The pub also used to house the tiny Post Office before the previous landlady retired and took that off to a house in the main part of the village. Even the relocated Post Office had gone by the time of this photo (it closed in 2009). The pub didn't last that much longer (it is now a private house) but quite a lot of the bar fittings and furniture were recycled into the Pinfold Club, which opened as a community-run village drinking hub in the old Primitive Methodist Chapel.
