More information

This apparently ancient pub on Fountain Street is not as old as it looks, at least not all of it. The building was created in 1923 by W. Johnson and Sons and much of it is mock timber framing. However, some of the carvings and other ornamentations came from a building that was demolished in Chester and are probably 17th Century.
