Refurbished and re-opened in early 2000 after a period when it was boarded up, this pleasant open one bar pub in a bull-nosed building was spotlessly clean and still smelled of paint when I visited.

Hangman

(Bank Hall Hotel)

John Smith’s

H217

The large signs outside give the impression that this is now a cafe - so much so that on a previous visit to the area I didn’t bother to go in!  This time I found a friendly pub full of boisterous locals playing pool.  The dingy interior is somewhat faded but still retains some fine glasswork, tiling and ceiling plasterwork.  The John Smith’s Smoothflow tasted off - presumably the regulars all drink lager.

As we approached on a Wednesday evening this large corner house appeared boarded up.  As we got nearer we realised the steel shutters were down on all the windows.  Closer still and the door was seen to be open.  Not a very inviting appearance!  Inside, a plain clean and tidy bar side with LSTV and pool table, and a posh lounge side.   A font of the shape usually reserved for dispensing wine carried a Cains Bitter clip but I didn’t dare investigate further!
