Large, open plan, town centre bar featuring central raised tables and stools with partitioned banquette seating around the perimeter. If you manage not to be distracted by the so many TV screens that they demand a collective noun, there are some interesting framed local prints on the walls. Excellent spacious well-lit darts facilities and rear outdoor smoking area. Alternating coloured LED strip lighting lures you to the bar where there is, alas, no longer cask ale.

Formerly this functioned as a Wetherspoon under the name of Thomas Telford until being sold off to Amber Taverns. Its current name references Telford's colleague and co-civil engineer who worked on the construction of the Ellesmere canal.
