History
editBuilt in 1923–24 and designed by the architect F. G. Newnham,[1] the pub opened as The Fellowship Inn.
Under that name, it hosted gigs by bands including Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers,[2] and was used as both a gym and a home by boxer Henry Cooper in the run-up to his 1963 fight against Muhammad Ali.[3]
In 2018 The Fellowship Inn underwent refurbishment and redevelopment to restore the interior. It reopened in June 2019 as The Fellowship and Star, including a cinema, café, music rooms and community spaces.[4] It subsequently closed as a victim of COVID-19 in 2020 and re-opened on 21 September 2022 once again named The Fellowship Inn.
The pub is on Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[1]
