Stood on the corner of Charnwood Street and Spinney Hill Road.
Bought by LBM from Bates & Bishell on the 21st of February 1891. Spanned numbers 30, 32 and 34 Spinney Hill Road.
Landlords included John Popple in 1888.
Councillor Popple was involved in a case with the magistrates in 1900 when he erected a 40 ft. wooden structure to serve his customers whilst work was being carried on in the main pub. The problem was he didn’t obtain permission, resulting in some locals objecting to the renewal of his licence. The bench took a dim view and rapped Councillors Popple’s knuckles but renewed his licence with conditions.
