This pub was previously known as the Hessle
House. It was owned by the Soulby, Son
& Winch brewery until 1951 when it was purchased by JW Green of Luton. |

Originally a private house, Hessle House was built by my great-grandfather
Mr Thomas Vinters and lived in by him and his wife and their eight children.
The name refers to a type of pear -- my great-grandfather had fruit orchards
all round including pear trees. I remember it as a very run-down pub
which closed probably in the 1960s and was left derelict for several years.
I think the current modern estate was built in the 1980s or even early
1990s. |

The Hessle Pear closed much later than claimed.
I believe it closed sometime in the mid 1980s, and demolished and
redeveloped in the early 1990s.
I holidayed in the area every year and often used the off-sales which were
located in a passage to the left of the bar area. I have also been in it and
walked past it several times a day. I was a teenager in the 1970s/80s. My
grandfather died in 1986 and I cant remember whether it closed before or
after his death, but around that general time. |
