The Good Reader replaces The Princess Alexandra, a nod to the area's rich history and its local hero, Sir Henry Reader Williams, whose philanthropic efforts are commemorated by the clock tower.
Sir Henry Reader Williams was a man dedicated to social causes, actively campaigning for local parks and contributing to education for underprivileged children, showcasing his commitment to community upliftment.
The pub's new owners expressed their admiration for Williams, highlighting his efforts in promoting social mobility and community welfare, stating, 'He was a socially progressive man, a community-driven man. Quite simply, he was a good man.'
Renaming the pub reflects a commitment to local heritage as it shifts from a sports bar to a community-focused eatery, emphasizing quality food and traditional brews.
