Description
In 1911 the Lord Conyers Arms was one of the oldest hostelries in the area, owned by the Worksop and Retford Brewery Co. The work of designing a new and effective building was placed in the hands of Mr Knight, architect, of Rotherham. The main entrance opens into a large hall ornamented with a handsome dado, and a well designed bar faces the door. On the left is the tap-room, and on the right a large and well furnished smoke room. At the back of this is a dining room and the domestic offices. Upstairs is a large club room with bedrooms. All the rooms are heated with low pressure heating apparatus, and lit by coal gas. Good stabling, carriage-house and other out-door conveniences are provided, and the covering of "Rose Mary" tiles adds a finish to a very hansome building. The tenancy was taken over by Mr. Peter Cartlidge, who for the last six years has been host of the "Leeds Arms", where he succeeded his father, the late Mr. George Cartlidge, who held the licence for about fifteen years.Other Details
