History
The present building was originally opened in 1776 as The Crown and Sceptre,[4] [5] before being named the Castle Hotel in the late 19th century.[6]
In, the pub was remodelled by Kay's Atlas Brewery, who added glazed tiles to the exterior frontage of the ground floor.[7]
On 19 June 1988, the Castle Hotel became a Grade II listed building.[1]
A live music venue since the early 1990s, the building fell into disrepair by the 2000s and closed in 2008.[8]
In 2009, the pub was acquired and renovated by former Coronation Street actor Rupert Hill and business partner Jonny Booth, and it continued to be a live music venue.[9]
