The original pub here relied heavily on canal trade, and was known as Dolly’s Hut, after a former landlord. It was bought by Hanley’s brewery from Morrell’s more than 120 years ago, and passed to Hall’s with the Hanley business in 1896. The pub was rebuilt in 1937... and retains some of the original features, notably the wrought iron ‘HOB’ emblems over the doors, vertically boarded counter, and Art Deco bar-back.
