Huthwaites Past Public Houses
Shoulder of Mutton
One of the first Huthwaite pubs found identified in the earliest 1828 gazetteer. Falling victim in a general slump sweeping the village through years 1990, this Home Ales house found ever more frequent manager changes in attempts at historic survival. Despite long service and later makeovers, noisier parties, staged groups, plus a liberal use of purple paint, the Shoulder was closed in 2002.
