The Wagon & Horses
Chapeltown, Sheffield
Located in Chapeltown, Sheffield, The Wagon & Horses represents the development by KDPA of a community pub that revives a name synonymous with the building and the area since the 17th century.
The design approach focused on place and people – the ethos of a community pub– drawing together the various fascinating strands of history associated with Chapeltown and this well-known local landmark. Newton Chambers & Co, whose industry formed the catalyst for much of the areas development is one of the subjects featured prominently throughout. The buildings own history also formed an important part of the scheme with uncovered sections of the original stone and brickwork left exposed adding to the raw character of this historic local pub. London Underground tile specialist H&E Smith revived an old recipe to provide the specific metallic finish KDPA wanted for the distinctive bar back fitting.
