A reasonably intact inter-war 'Brewer's Tudor' pub built on the site of an earlier one. In the front bar, the panelled counter and stone-arched fireplace are as-built, likewise the lower portion of the bar back and the decorative woodwork above the staff doorway. Other features are more recent. The lounge was extended backwards, perhaps in the 1960s, but the front part retains its fielded panelling with decorative strapwork - there is also decoration (three arches) in the panelling above the fine fireplace. The 'Ladies' stained glass door panel is original but must have been moved, given its position in the extension. Both gents' toilets sport original urinals and terrazzo floors.
Fairly intact brewers Tudor pub of 1920s/30s built on site of an earlier pub. Front bar retains its original panelled counter and large Tudor shaped stone arch fireplace; the lower part of the bar back is original, as is the decorative woodwork above the doorway used by the staff, but the top part of the bar back is modern and fixed seating possibly from the 60s. The lounge has been extended back, possibly in the 60s. The front section retains its original fielded panelling on the walls with good decorative strapwork above and around doors; and a very good 1920s/30s fireplace with three arches decoration in panelling above. The bar counter appears to date from the time of the extension. There is another doorway with decorative woodwork but the bar back is modern. There is 1920/30s 'Ladies' stained glass door panel and as this is in the extension it must have been moved. Both gents toilets have the original urinals and terrazzo floors.
