Wonder if the Wurlitzer is still in place? This pub is not a listed building but its interior is of local importance. This pub still retains several interesting heritage features, dating from various times over the previous 100 years or so. The wrought iron signage above the doors is Victorian, as is the curved tiled panel on the corner of the pub bearing the pub's name. Arguably the most arresting feature is the pair of copper panels at the back of the room on the right entitled "call to arms" and "at the revels" - these are undoubtedly Victorian as well. There are still two separate rooms accessed by their own doors to the street, or via a small corridor behind the bar. According to staff the screen separating the two rooms was introduced in the 1960s to replace one that had been removed some twenty years earlier. Much of the central stillion also dates from the 60s. The ceiling still has the Lincrusta (or Lincrusta style) decoration, and the large room at the back on the right was once the billiards room, but the skylight in there is now no longer in use.
