A solid redbrick former Robinson’s pub south of the town centre just off Hillgate. The pub was situated opposite the former Strawberry Studios and in the past has seem many famous musicians enjoying a drink. Closed in August 2016 and still open on StreetView.

So sad, I spent a lot of good times in the pub around the 70's. Andy was the landlord with wife Jean, if you did not get in early on a sat night you would not get a seat, some Sunday nights ended up as a sing along, more of a shout along. I remember bands such as 10cc and Sad Café standing at the bar I can remember many names and faces, family groups and characters like H D who wold throw himself around the pub when asked about the wrestling.My name is Mike but I was known as Sam, all the best to those regulars of the time.
