Asset of Community Value

Lobby, two separate rooms. Remainder much opened-out. Some 1930s features survive. An old pub. The three-room part at the front appears to have been subject to refurbishments by Home Brewery in the 1930s and postwar. Minimal features survive, and there has been too much tinkering and opening-out to justify inclusion.
