Look around and imagine the delights of sampling 'Bros Whisky' or Robertson Sanderson Original Mountain Dew as advertised on the mirror over the fireplace. In front is the bar, complete with beer engine, though customers could be served ale straight from wooden beer barrels, standing on the gantry in the corner. Behind the bar is an empty assortment of jars and bottles from Pickering's past brewing trade such as the Coverdale White Swan Brewery and from their clients Stericker's Wine Merchants, Monkman Wine Merchants, J. & E. Windle and others. Other objects well used in the pub of the day were the beetle trap, cast iron bar table and the spittoons. Overhead, a lamp globe carries the name 'Station Hotel' a well know local hostelry. Old patrons might have wanted to indulge in a game of Nine Men's Morris, or Merrills, subsequently returning the board to its place behind the bar.
