The Wicker Brewery Inn was built around 1850 as the brewey tap for the Wicker Brewery. The brewery was taken over by Birks Lady's Bridge Brewery in 1880 and closed. The pub remained as a Birk's house until they were taken over by Gilmours a few years later. The brewery was turned onver to producing vinegar and eventually demolished.
The name was changed to The Hole in the Wall during the 1970s, but closed due to its issolation.
It did have a fresh lease of life a few years ago when the pop group Beautiful South used it for a promotional photo shoot. They put up signs renaming the pub Beautiful South. The pub is neither.
