The building was built to replace an older premises with the same name around 1800 – 1810, and the Keppel family Crest was carved onto a stone plaque on the gable end of the building.
During the mid 1800’s the Pack Horse had room to stable 29 horses, stallion houses where stallions and mares were brought for mating, a shippon for 5 cows and a brewhouse. At the rear of the inn there was a garden and a bowling green.
The inn was sold by the Keppel Estate in 1877, and was closed in 1905 when the publican had his licence revoked.
It then became a Temperance Hotel for a time, before finally closing in 1923. In 1925 it became the Manchester and County Bank.
