This suburban pub was built in 1957-1958 by James Shipstone & Co as the 'Herald Of Peace', and for many years was a fine traditional three-roomed community local selling plenty of Shippo's beer. Following the takeover by Greenalls, the pub was extended, and there were several refurbishments and a silly renaming. The interior is now mostly opened-out. On the left of the entrance, a lively bar with pool and a former traditional smoke room with bay window; on the right, a large lounge in the extended area. Sport TVs and food all day. Large garden to the right and rear. From Greenalls, it went to Scottish & Newcastle as a 'John Barras' pub; then to Spirit PubCo.
