Built in 1957 to replace the old pub on the site opening to the public on 12th April 1957. In 1962 an assembly room was added to cater for the many community activities which took place there. 2001 saw an extensive refurbishment take place which knocked all the rooms into one massive room served by a single bar counter.

In Nov/Dec 2025, a further refurbishment took place changing it to Marston's 'Grandstand' sports brand, turning the pub into a sports orientated pub with large screens throughout the pub.

The original mural of two merry boys on what was the outside bar frontage has survived the many alterations.
