The Glebe is in the heart of old Stoke with the city’s magnificent civic buildings, designed by Henry Ward in 1834, wrapping their way around the pub whilst the majestic Stoke Minster looks on. The pub is rather dwarfed by all this grandeur but the effect is to magnify the pub’s quality and its stubbornness to survive.

It is closed at the moment and in a most forlorn state, but it is a classic corner pub of its day built at the same time as the civic buildings during William IVs short reign pre Victoria, and we absolutely love it.  It is of course listed with its classic design, some marvellous features; unique leaded glazing by the studio of William Morris, period architrave and its original central rounded mahogany bar counter.

We are currently working closely with members of Stoke Council in particular the conservation team and local architectural archaeologists in preparation for the restoration of the pub to its former glory. We will be attempting to win the CAMRA and English Heritage award for pub conservation (we were Highly Commended at the White Horse in 2008, but have yet to achieve the top prize!) so quite a challenge. This is all work in progress, an ambitious project but we think this is a pub which is worth the effort and believe Stoke is so deserving of investment.

At the very heart of the original Joule’s pub estate the Glebe is to be our flagship Joule’s Ale House for Stoke on Trent. It’s a reasonably short walk from the mainline station, so it will be convenient for visitors as well as local people.

We would be extremely keen to hear from anyone with old photographs of this pub, especially the interior which will be of great use to the restoration team.
