The victorian urban pub with mosaic flooring and a semi-circular ceramic counter is an impressive place for locals and tourists to get together with family and friends to spend quality time.

Heritage Minister Nigel Huddleston, said: “Our historic pubs are national institutions that have sat at the heart of local communities for generations, bringing people together and shining a light on our shared past.

“These listings recognise and celebrate the importance of the local pub to people across the country and will make sure their legacy endures for many years to come.”
