A 1925-built hotel, still with some original features - tiling in the entrance lobby, fielded panelling in the corridor and, in the public bar, a bar counter with mirrored bar back. The wood surround fireplace and fixed seating are also from that era.
Built of Portland stone and red brick in 1925 for Haughton Road Brewing Co. - note '1925' and 'The Travellers', and 'Rest Hotel' in stone on the front. The West Auckland Road entrance lobby has dado tiling on walls. Through inner doors the corridor has 1920s fielded panelling on dado painted grey. The bar in the corner of the pub retains its original counter, original mirrored bar back fitting, original fixed seating and some dado fielded panelling, a good 1920s wood surround fireplace with a modern brick interior, modern pot shelf. The former off sales is possibly what is now the 'Private' door off the passage. Lounge is completely modernised and was originally two rooms.
