The building on this map appears different to today's, so evidently it was rebuilt at some time.
After closure in 2018, a change of use application was lodged.
A large fire broke out at this pub on March 26th 2020, destroying pretty much everything but the shell of the building.
Some time between November 2020 and September 2023, the remains were demolished and replaced with a number of new houses.
It's shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (larger map)
