Description: | Looking south. Considering that this inn was only built in 1873, its rateable value of £25 was very reasonable or else the local authority was very careful with its money. The site was bought by Smith and Nephew of Cresswell Holme and Oldcotes and came into the Worksop and Retford Brewery Co. ownership soon after 1881. The licence from the Butcher's Arms was transferred to this new building and the licensee, Sarah Hind, came with it. William Henry Copes take came to begin a 20 year spell as licensee in 1905 when he left the Travellers Rest. The operation of this public house was one of the earliest efforts of Worksop Ales to follow the population growth, which had by 1880 spread to Sandy Lane and Gateford Road areas. It caters naturally for manual workers, e.g. coal miners and quarry staff and has always been a 'North End' pub with its own football team and a proud tradition of which Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hardy (nee Moore), are very conscious.
