Dewsbury Central Station Hotel

Built in 1903 as a pub-hotel to serve a now-defunct railway and close to Dewsbury’s renowned market. Its internal restoration is a continuing work-in-progress, making much use of architectural salvage but also preserving some good original elements. The spacious tap room retains its striking stained glass skylight, its curved bar-counter and some old bench seating while the smaller smoke room, which shares the single storey end of the building, keeps its original curve of high quality fitted seating. A particular highlight is the glazed screenwork with original Art Nouveau decoration in the central lobby area, framing both the bar-servery and the entrance vestibule there.
