* CAMRA heritage listing so off I stopped. The wood panelled back room is lovely with superb fitted seating and a fine fireplace overlooked by a large mirror (the front area, by contrast, is a grey painted basic mess). Sweeney-style questioning for taking photos, luckily the old skool barmaid creaked over to diffuse the situation "he's one of them, we'll get in the papers!" Felt like I was the most sober person in attendance and I was told, with pride, that this is the 8th most haunted pub in UK "we've had the telly in here!" Further questioning elicited that there's been fires, hangings and all sorts on the site and apparently they only employ female staff because the last male on the books refused to go in the cellar because of the spooks. The only haunting on my visit was the quality of the Guinness, which had departed life long ago. One for the heritage hunters or Danny Robins, there’s no other reason to stop off.

Two rooms with bars in the middle. TV on the wall. All keg but better than the Cottees.

The Corporation Arms is a very basic pub that was busy compared to its peers during a recent Wednesday evening visit. The interior consists of two small bars to the left and right, both of which have televisions for showing Sky Sports which was muted. In the right-hand side is a dartboard, but I steered clear of the area due to a couple of very drunk youngsters who were arguing with the barmaid. Live music was advertised for weekends, but there were no specific dates or times so this may be an old general sign. A standard keg range is available, and the lone hand pump was unused. Food is not available. The service was friendly, but I thought this place was a bit of a roughhouse so will not be returning.
