Full Description

Nominated for the Local List of heritage assets by CAMRA because it is the best surviving example in York of an inter-war ‘Improved’ pub, purpose-built to serve the surrounding new housing estate. CAMRA comment that the snug has its original furniture and is largely unaltered; the Bar notably retains its arched back fitting and bench seating; while the Lounge, though altered, retains original woodwork beneath modern veneer. Also of particular interest is a glazed dividing screen and tilework to an obsolete outsales, and tilework in the Gents toilet.
