The original pub can be seen on this OS town plan from about 1880 (larger map).
Closed in 2017 and subsequently converted into a Kurdish community centre.
It was a popular, large pub, with a single main servery and several interconnected drinking areas.
This pub had a wide selection of Real Ales (8 on hand pump) and a minimum of 8 ciders (up to 12 from spring till October) on draught.
There was live music several nights a week, when the pub could get very busy.
The current building dates from 1928 when it was built to replace the original Mulberry Tree pub which stood just in front of it.
