Summary

Description
English: The Heavitree public house Located in Fore Street, Exeter, at the junction with Church Street.

As with the Ship and Pelican, on the opposite side of Church Street, this pub dates back to 1740. The only older buildings in Heavitree are ecclesiastical. Originally called the Horse and Jockey, the building was a popular refreshment-stop for many when walking to public executions at Ringswell. The pub was the first public house to be purchased, in 1891, by the newly incorporated Heavitree Brewery, which traded from Church Street. The public house was renamed 'The Heavitree' on 4th August 2006.

The building to the right, with the double garage front, is now part of the public house. It used to house Exeter Fire Brigade's Heavitree District Fire Station. When the Danes Castle site opened in 1932 as the main Exeter Fire Station, this station, along with all other district stations was closed. The building then became Swanston's fruit and vegetable shop and then later, an extension of the pub.
