First listed in 1864 with Charles Read as landlord and succeeded by his widow, Emma, in 1890 until 1903.
The pub was tied to Steward & Patteson for many years and was also, variously, a grocery shop, drayman's cottages and an off-licence. Dating from around 1900, on the forecourt of the pub there was a City Council pissoir used by the tram drivers. Philip Birchall has run the pub since 2004.
