Local record

History of this pub

Longford House was built around an impressive three-storey house dating back to the 17th century, standing at a busy junction on the A5 Watling Street, the old Roman road, with landscaped gardens screening it from the traffic. The Premier Inn shared the site. Inside, the front room had a large bay window and the back room had wood-panelled alcoves under a partly sloping glass roof. In 2011 the Express & Star noted it was one of the few Beefeaters left in the region, as most had become Table Tables.
