Drinking in an Old English Town

Hub, Wheelwright Lane

The name was suggested by the pub's address in Wheelwright Lane. The premises opened as an off license and was called the 'Ivy Cottage'. It is said to have become a pub around 1963 by the demand of the pit villagers and the name changed to the 'Hub' because of its location.
