Full Description

The Manvers Arms was the subject of a programme of building recording, conducted in November 2007, prior to its proposed demolition and redevelopment of the site. The building is a former public house, constructed in 1934 to serve the growing population at the east end of the city, and to provide overnight accommodation for travellers. It was built for Mowbray and Company, brewers of Grantham, and took the name and licence of the Manvers Arms in Danesgate. Its construction of plain brick with decorative brick and tile quoins and a hipped, tiled roof was typical of the period. With the exception of small, coloured glass panels over two of the external doors, the style of the building is functional rather than decorative. Original doors and fittings were present inside, along with the original washbasins to the first-floor rooms. Most of the décor was of the 1970s, however, when alterations were made to remodel the lounge and saloon bars, and convert the snug at the rear to form a pool room. There was a garden at the rear, on a higher terrace, and provision for motor vehicle parking on the forecourt. The building closed as a pub in 2006. {1}{2} The Manvers Arms public house was demolished in April 2008. Archaeological monitoring conducted immediately after the pub's demolition, during groundworks to reduce the terrace, revealed several layers of made ground. The layers were very likely deposited during the creation of the terrace and construction of the pub in 1934. A very small assemblage of redeposited, late post-medieval material was recoverd from the layers (but not retained), along with a single redeposited sherd of Roman pottery (see PRN ). {3}{4}
