Pub History
This pub opened on:
26 Jul 2000
Sir Henry Newbolt is remembered chiefly for his patriotic and nautical ballads, such as Drakes’ Drum (1897). Perhaps his best-known lines are from The Island Race: ‘There’s a breathless hush in the close tonight/Ten to make and the match to win. But his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote/Play up! play up! and play the game!’
How this pub got its name: This Wetherspoon pub is named after the poet born in Bilston, in 1862, who is best remembered for his patriotic ballads.
