This Victorian porticoed small hotel, built close to the former LMS station, has signs of an old off-sales hatch as you enter. In the small public bar, the original bar-back shelving extends across the room but the counter was shortened in the 1990s when a gap was created on the left to give access to the three linked rooms at the rear. Note the Edwardian etched 'Station' & 'Vaults' panels in the side door to the public bar. The first and second rear rooms retain their old fixed bench seating and off the second room is a further tiny room. A partition between the second and third rooms has a double door width gap in it. A small lounge is on the right. A quarry-tiled passage runs from a hatch at the back of the bar to the rear and outside gents’ toilets.
