History

Previous names: The Sanctuary, Varsity, Hogs Head

Once part of a much bigger Hogs Head that also took in what is now the Tesco next door. Later the Varsity, then the Sanctuary, which closed on 1 November 2013 when its owners, the Bramwell Pub Co, collapsed. It stood empty until Camerons reopened it as the Head of Steam on 1 February 2018.
