The King’s Arms, on Bridge Street Brow, dates to 1824 but it is believed to have succeeded the Greyhound pub from the early 1800s. In the 1840s the pub, nicknamed ‘The Hole in the Wall’, was run by the Baker family, latterly of the Bakers Vaults, who owned much of the property on that left hand side of the Brow heading up towards Market Place. The King’s Arms had its own brew house around that time, but brewing on the site tailed off in the late 1840s, and concluded in 1850 when the pub was taken over by George Foster, who had his own brewery elsewhere. In 1975, the building was given Grade II listing. It eventually became a wine bar, and most recently a furniture shop, but the premises is currently empty.
