A basic pub near the dock gates, retaining an imposing old gantry. This has three bays with a staff door in the middle, impressive columns holding up the top section and surviving lower shelving on the left-hand side, with three drawers attached to the main shelf. The curved bar counter looks old but is not original. Walls are panelled to two-thirds height and the cornice and ceiling roses are attractive. The vestibule areas are also notable and the one on the right may once have been an off-sales.

At the foot of a tenament, a basic pub near the dock gates that still retains a genuinely old gantry. It is of three bays with a doorway for staff being the middle section and impressive columns with capitals holding up the top section. In front of plain mirrors there is only one shelf held up by a spindly column. The left hand lower shelving remain with three drawers attached to the main shelf. On the right i.e. main road side is an elaborate vestibule-style area – was this an off sales? It has a colourful leaded panel above the doorway from the servery into it. Corner door vestibule with leaded lights and more leaded lights above exterior windows woth colourful roundels of birds. The curved bar counter looks old but not original and has two still-working water taps.. The door on the Bath Road side leads to another vestibule. There are panelled walls to two-thirds height. Good cornice and ceiling roses. There is a ladies snug-like area at the rear left? Two steps at rear right through an arch leads to a non-descript are with toilets off.
