Inside

This is a real old fashioned pub. Literally a spit and sawdust pub, with many original features, such as a a large ships wheel, and is often photographed. It stands forlorn amongst modern buildings just before the bridge that marks the end of Adamsdown and the start of the town centre.

A perpertual entry in the Camra pub guide.

A real step back in time.

Good news - it should be around until at least 2007.
