Used to frequent this pub in the late 1960’s early 1970’s. When we first went there it had two front rooms with a corridor in between them. At the end of the corridor was a lift up counter (just wide enough to serve one person at a time) with the beer taps etc. behind. It was refurbished in the early 1970’s. The building is still in use as a ‘gastro pub’ under the name of The Dog House.
