It was built in 1923 for Truman's Brewery, and probably designed by their in-house architect A. E. Sewell.[2]

It was Grade II listed in 2015 by Historic England.[2]

The pub has appeared in the TV series Goodnight Sweetheart,[3] the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and the 2015 film Legend.[4]

In July 2020, the previously independently ran pub was bought by the chain Young's.
