COUNTY ANTRIM - Bushmills, Bush House National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One 72-74 Main Street, Bushmills, BT57 8QD Tel: 028 2073 1240 Listed Status: Grade B A three-room, terraced pub where most of the interior work probably dates back to shortly after the Second World War. The small front bar has a bar-back with four advertising mirrors, panelling and a decorative floor. The lounge at the back has more panelling and bell-pushes to attract table service in times gone by. The elegant mahogany fire-surround is said to have been brought in from the former Arcadia ballroom in Belfast. The old kitchen, complete with white glazed brick and 'Fairy Esse' cooker, was pressed into public use as the bell-pushes indicate. The ladies' toilet still has its penny-in-the-slot-device. From Spring to Autumn the yard is home to the traditional game of horsehoes in which the aim is to land them on a pin. |
