Its name has its origins in either the coal labourers who visited the nearby Coal Hole or Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell.[4][5][6]

The two former terrace houses were built in 1731–33, but later refaced. It has been Grade II listed since 1970. [7]

It is run by the Dorset family brewers Hall and Woodhouse.[8]
