Description: The original inn, at the bottom of the main route to Penzance Harbour, had a courtyard and the front where the main bar is in 2012. During the 17th century, the old cellar (the dining room in 2012) was used by naval ratings. The tunnel emerges in what is the main bar and on up to the first floor where there is a Priests' Hole. The second floor was a fishermen's loft with two large doors onto the original courtyard. At the rear of the building was a Band Hall and a cell for drunks. In the 19th century the landlord was a Mr Holloway whose son founded the Royal Holloway College for women and the Holloway Sanitorium in Surrey.
