The Navigation, Horninglow, Burton on Trent

Named for the adjacent Trent & Mersey canal, this pub is about one third preserved and two thirds modern bar. One end is furnished and decorated in traditional style including exuberant Victorian style wallpaper, while the other has all the screens, machines, laminate floors, and shiny keg founts to satisfy the most uber of metro-sexuals, well almost - it is Burton on Trent after all. Both sides are divided by a modern glass entrance vestibule. The whole design is linked through a selection of old photos throughout and a homely touch is given by a dog’s cage and food bowls in a drinking passage cum corridor behind the servery that links the front and rear areas of the pub. Two pumps both with Pedigree, drinkable but not in brilliant condition.
