A successful refurbishment (in 24 hours!) in May 1996 ended the pub's short experiment as a Tut 'n' Shive Ale House and thankfully restored its centuries old name 'The Vaults' (though not without some strange attributions to Ebenezer Riley!!). Closed as the Vaults December 2013, seemingly permanently, but has reopened April 2014 as 'Northend Vaults'. A Craft Union pub - Ei Group's wet led managed house chain.
