Built 1923 for Walkers Warrington Brewery of brick in Neo-Georgian with Porticos on Queens Park View and Hartington Street sides. The left hand bar retains old dado panelling, fixed seating with bell pushes, an original stone fireplace at the rear but modern bar fittings. Note the excellent Art Deco ceiling rose. The right hand bar has lost its fixed seating and also has modern bar fittings. Possibly an off-sales existed as you entered.
