View of the pub, as it was in 1946, painted from within Lodge Moor Prisoner of War Camp. At some point after 1967 the large barn and rear chimney stacks were removed, and a flat roofed single storey extension for toilets added. Image s21584, taken in 1967, shows the large barn on the left and the tops of both rear chimneys can be seen above the roofline. Past Landlords were Farmers as well. Information: S. Hedges
Herr Lutz was an architect and ex-Wehrmacht officer who was confined in the camp from September 1945 to April 1948.
