The Trap, North Street

The Trap, North Street

The Trap public house, previously called the Lime Kiln. It got its name because the men who worked in the lime industry stopped there on their way home from work and spent their wages on beer,rather than taking the money home to their wives.

There is another story that their wives used to wait for them outside the pub and take their wages from them before they could spend them on beer, thus trapping them.
