Former Gales pub, taken over by Fuller's and subsequently leased to Merlins Inns.

The Anchor was built in the late 1700s as a hotel. It was converted to a pub in the 1930s. Painted in a striking mustard yellow colour, the pub was known as the 'Sandcastle pub' catering for a primarily local clientele.

A gradual decline led to closure in 2020 and it is now being converted to residential use. This despite it being listed as an Asset of Community Value in July 2016. This was rejected on appeal on technical grounds in December 2016 and resubmitted in January 2017. In April 2018 a planning application was approved to convert part of the pub building into residential use, whilst still retaining an area for a pub, café or restaurant. This development commenced in June 2023.
