This picturesque corrugated-iron public house is a unique and quirky addition to the architectural heritage. Corrugated-iron is now recognised as an important historic building material. It was used particularly in the latter part of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, as it was inexpensive, easily mass produced and transported. Often used in coastal areas for holiday homes, by railway companies for minor lines, and as a roofing material for vernacular houses, it a material of much character and charm.
