Changes to one of the most historic pubs in Worksop feature among the latest batch of planning applications received by Bassetlaw District Council.

The Mallard, at the town’s railway station, is a grade II listed building that dates back to 1901 when it opened as refreshment rooms and a dining room for passengers.

Renowned as a quirky but cosy traditional boozer, it regularly hosts beer festivals and, in 2015, it was named pub of the year by the Nottinghamshire branch of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale)

Now its long-standing owner and landlord, Wayne Cadman, has applied for listed building consent to replace its hanging sign and exterior menu-board to spruce the place up a bit.

In a planning statement sent to the council, Wayne says: “The existing hanging sign has been in place for about 15 years. But because of its age, the artwork on the sign has become extremely faded, while the timber edging has deteriorated significantly due to weather.

"The menu board comprises a metal frame with a blackboard infill. But it is of poor condition and does not reflect the character of the building.

"The proposed replacements would be of timber construction and would very much enhance the facade and appearance of the building.”

The station was built in 1849, and The Mallard was named after the famous steam locomotive, which dates back to 1938. It broke the world speed record for steam locos at 126mph, which still stands today.

The council’s planning officers are expected to give the go-ahead to the changes in the coming weeks.
