It was altered internally in the 1950s, when the back corridor and smoke room were merged, and a bar counter introduced, with the kitchen ceasing to act as a public room. A rear extension was added, to cater to hikers, which was rebuilt in 1975. It was Grade II listed in 1958. It is listed on the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors as a one-star pub.
