The Castle was situated on Trent Road. This pub closed in November 2011 and is to be converted to a Tesco store.

Replacing the Mock Gothic Midanbury Castle, this 1935 Cooper’s brewery pub was built when the Forester’s Arms in West Street surrendered its licence; it became a Watneys house when they acquired Coopers brewery. In December 1986 it reopened after a conversion to a Chef & Brewer carvery. This project was short lived and it reverted to being an ordinary pub again, however it suffered from outbreaks of trouble culminating it 2010 with an attempted stabbing.
