Old Cross Inn

Dates from around 1897 when acquired by Holts. Up to the earlier c.2000 this pub had a virtually unaltered 1920s interior including a tiled dado. Although it was refurbished by Holts it still retains a lot of its original fittings and layout. The lobby bar has a splendid screened servery still complete with lower sections that can be raised and lowered including a curved one. The counter front has new panels and the bar back is a mixture of old and new. The panelled dado was added in c.2000 and covers up inter war tiling.

On the left the tap room (front) and the news room (rear) were combined in c.2000 - both areas retain original fixed seating but re-upholstered, baffles with 1920s etched panels in the top of them and 1920s decoratively carved fireplaces but now blocked up, also signs of the old bell pushes around the rooms. On the right the music room is now a pool room but retains original fixed seating re-leatheretted with bell pushes in the wood panel above (and has been extended to the right?). Has a number of original windows, but also replacements, a 'Gents' panel in the door, terrazzo floor and original tiles painted over (and some modern ones); 'Ladies' in the door.
