An old coaching inn built around 1770 standing on the ancient Sheffield-Newark-London turnpike and falls in the county of Derbyshire by only a few hundred yards. Evidence of a Blacksmith's shop and stone steps for mounting horses used to be visible and they were stables on the left hand side of the pub. There was also a sleeping area for the Ostler's (Stable lads who worked at the Inn.) The Pebley has been owned by two noted local families - De Rodes in the 19th Century, and Sitwells in the 20th Century. Sir Osbert Sitwell sold The Pebley to William Stones Ltd in 1947 and it then passed on to Bass in 1970 before regaining Freehouse status in 1991.
