Street-corner pub with two rooms and a drinking lobby. The interior is similar in style to the Volunteer Canteen, Waterloo with a central lobby/passage from the front door to rear. It has a splendid bar-back with glazed screenwork to the room behind with service in the lobby via a doorway and hatch in a screen. Opened up slightly off the passage is a lounge with old fixed seating and service bells in a wood panel above. It has a Victorian tiled, cast-iron and wood-surround fireplace. There are lots of etched and frosted panels including external 'Smoke Room' and 'Walkers Warrington Ales' windows.
Street corner pub with two rooms and drinking lobby. Has an interior similar in style to the Volunteer Canteen, Waterloo with a central lobby/passage from the front door to rear with 'Smoke Room' etched and frosted panel in inner door. It has a splendid bar back with glazed screenwork to the room behind with service in the lobby via a doorway and hatch in screen and has lots of etched and frosted panels from the 1920s(?). Opened up slightly off the passage i.e. wide doorway and part of upper wall removed is a lounge with old fixed seating and service bells in wood panel above. It has a Victorian tiled, cast iron and wood surround fireplace where the interior is modern and the wood surround looks more inter-war, also two good decorative etched and frosted exterior windows 'Smoke Room, but has lost original Smoke Room front window.

The modernised main bar has a counter difficult to date with panelled modern tiles, dado panelling not old, wood surround and new tiled fireplace not old. Good 'Walkers Warrington Ales' exterior window and 'Bar' etched panel on the door into public bar. Lots of marvellous etched glass windows including a 'Ladies' one in the door.
