Granted 3/3/2020. History: What was once Winter's the jewellers was converted into a pub in the 1990s, at that time it sold cask Tetley Bitter. It then became a Holt's house in the early 2000s. Its prominent position and shop-window frontage made it stand out well. It had one room downstairs with a raised area to the rear where darts were sometimes played, while the bar was on the far right. A central bannistered stairway lead to a plush and comfortable first floor lounge and dining area with plenty of tables and chairs. Here too could be viewed the workings of the famous and truly splendid automaton clock mechanism as it struck the hours. Returning to the main room, a well-used jukebox and fruit machines completed the picture. Late afternoons and early evening could often be lively with a bustling atmosphere enhanced by sing-alongs or karaoke.
