Built circa 1860, by John Stevenson, local builder, complete with brewhouse (CP).
It was in trouble straight away as William Waring was fined £1 for opening during divine hours on a Sunday.
William couldn’t have been there long, as in September 1862, the Curzon Arms advertised for sale because landlord Charles Sarson was soon leaving.
For Sale again in 1867, with Elizabeth Simpson as victualler, and again in 1882, when the freehold realised £1640.
On December 1870, John Johnson on entering the Curzon Arms, saw a cat lying in the hearth. He promptly kicked the cat several times, injuring the animal quite badly. He was taken to court and find £3.3s, or one month.
Eventually Beeston Brewery owned the pub, they being taken over by Shipstones.
The Curzon Arms closed on the 12th of September 1961.
