This public house is all that remains to remind us of the Egremont ferry which started in the 1830's. The first Egremont ferryboats would have been small wooden paddle steamers which had no protection for the passengers from the weather. 1835 the Egremont Steam Ferry Company was formed and introduced iron steamers.
