| hearsay:- |
The door to the gents toilet is very narrow; as explained:- |
|
| "Some people may think this door is peculiar But please don't let its narrowness fool yah It was built long ago with a purpose in mind To keep out the four legged friend of mankind When in years gone by the bargee came to drink Outside his old horse was left there to think I'll follow him in though 'Dobbin' one day Thats when the landlord was heard to say This habit of yours will have to be stopped And so in two halves this old door was chopped" |

| ... the canal was closed 50 years before the pub was built. |
