The Old Dispensary

Angus McGill10 April 2012

You will never guess why this splendid new public house is called the Old Dispensary. It is because it is an old dispensary. It was built in the grandest possible style by public subscription in 1858 for the treatment of the poor. Now it has been transformed into this excellent pub, a soaring bar, everything in it polished and gleaming, circular skylights, a spacious gallery and a comfortable no-smoking room.
