This Rocks landmark, erected in 1845, was once reputedly the stalking ground of "press gangs", who'd thumping unsuspecting young men on the head, push them down a trapdoor, and press them into service as sailors. Today, the olde timey pub is popular with the locals and hosts live musicians Thusdays through Sundays.
