Operated in 1847, possibly earlier as an unnamed house.

By 1862 it was registered as a Beer Retailer and the licensee also a Shoemaker. By 1875 the house was being referred to as the "Duke of Wellington" and listed as a beer house in 1877 the landlord was fined for selling Schiedam (gin) without (spoilt).

Local brewer John Hatton owned the building in 1880.

1893 saw the premises obtain a license to sell wine as well as beer but it didn't gain permission to sell spirits till 1944 when there was a grain shortage on due to the war. It is also noted that the Winkle Club started up in the pub around about the same time.

The pub unfortunately closed in 1971 and is now a private residence.
