The premises opened about 1972 as a wine bar only.

The name was changed to the "Chapel Bar" in 2010. I am informed that it used to have a big sash window that used to be pulled up in the summer.

I am informed that this pub was included in an episode of Lewis.

 

Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
