The Sendell Arms

Description

The Sendell Arms is a quaint little pub in the heart of West Grayside that serves exquisite grilled cheese sandwiches, cold beers, and frothy soft drinks in a comfy, safe and welcoming environment. The atmosphere transforms from a relaxed daytime gathering spot into a lively night time venue, perfect to meet friends, discuss plans, hold parties or listen to great music. The tasteful interior design consists mainly of exotic taxidermy "borrowed" from the nearby Paice Museum.

History

In the early 1860s Glen Jacobs appears to have opened a beerhouse on Bickell Way, which became known as The Bickell Tavern. In 1913, the Gass Plaza Railway Station was built nearby which reduced pedestrian traffic in the area forcing Mr Jacobs to sell his business. Frank Johnson bought the facility and after several renovations reopened the pub under the name of the Johnson Arms. Despite such alterations the basic look of the pub was to change very little over the years, even after its purchase by the Griswalds in 1953. As late as 1974, Chris Arnold in an article about the pub in the Malton News could describe it as an 'old fashioned, basic, down to earth' pub.

This all changed, however, after the retirement in 1981 of Grace Sanders, who had been landlady there for thirty-four years. William Sendell took over in 1984, updating the building to more modern standards and changed it's name to the Sendell Arms. The number of customers increased dramatically and the pub's popularity was maintained up until the outbreak in 2005.

Despite being abandoned, the old tavern continued operation sporadically under various squatters. The South Malton Watch maintained the place as their hangout for the three years between 2007 and 2010. The Sendell Saints also laid claim to the property, using it as a home base briefly during the year of 2008. Construction on the building was reported in early 2015 and rumors indicate that a new group has assumed current ownership.
