15:10 This pub was not on the plan but having used the back entrance to the Waterhouse because of roadworks in the front and discovered it, the plan changed. Cracking pub, lovely tiled corridor still with hatch service.

Fantastic community pub right in the centre near the town hall. Tucked down a little side street, most people probably don't realise it's there. Really busy with a lovely atmosphere. Did have 6 ales on but I only remember the one I had.
