History

Formerly known as The Waggon & Horses Free House, the property operated as a public house until its closure in 2007. Historically, it was a popular venue with both locals and bikers, with records of landlords dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its name reflects its association with horse-drawn wagons, adding a layer of heritage to its already unique character.
