Welcome Inn

Great pub, steeped in history and heritage. The usual selection of Joseph Holt beers. Built in 1936. Brick and half timbered exterior. The Bar Parlour on the right has a blocked up door which was the off -sales that ran down the middle of the present room i.e. it was a bar and a snug until it was all knocked into one in the 1980s. Good bar fittings - the bar back may be some old cabinet and doorway between two parts is 1930s but much new shelves, tiles etc. Original fixed seating at the front of the room. Gents here has old urinals but modern tiles. The main bar has fully panelled walls to picture frame height, a very good glazed stone and wood surround fireplace but fixed seating may be post war. The original bar counter with leaded panels reaching to the ceiling but a new counter top and the bar back is a mixture of old and new - all the lower shelves replaced by fridges. Dado panelling up the staircase to. Original revolving door replaced by exterior and inner doors but the curved panelling around it survives. The small lounge has a good carved wood surround fireplace from the 1930s but modern tiles and fixed seating may be original. The intact gents on the left were removed in 2009.
