The Screes Inn



The exact build date of The Screes Inn is unknown but it was visited as early as 1802 by the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, on a walk around the Lake District.  When first built, The Screes was known as The Golden Fleece Inn, with a full list of its victuallers noted in the local church records.  In 1836, Issac and Anne Colebank too over the inn and renamed it The Sun Inn, and along with their family continued to be the publicans here till 1871.

On taking over the inn during 1871, John and Sarah Satterthwaite renamed the site The Strands Hotel and over the years the hotel changed hands until 1905, when due to 'disgraceful scenes of drunkenness, frequent changes of management and on many occasions finding women outside in their night-dresses, the licence for the premisses was refused.  At this point The Strands Hotel became The Strands Temperance Hotel until the 1970s when the licence was renewed and The Screes Inn was born.

Mark & Lesley Corr, as well as owning the Strands Inn and Brewery from 2006, took over ownership of The Screes in 2017,
