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]

Until 1998 it was two separate pubs (The Shovell and The Ship) when the cellars were joined by a new tunnel under Craven Passage containing the kitchen.[8][9]

It is run by the Dorset family brewers Hall and Woodhouse.[10]
