1930s brick and mock Tudor pub. Still retains its 1930s counter front with a modern top and a modern bar back. Now L-shaped room with a good 1930s brick fireplace in the right hand area where the fixed seating is modern. Another good 1930s brick fireplace on the left were the fixed seating look to be from 1930s but the baffle near the door looks modern - note a blocked-up door so a piece of the seating has been moved from elsewhere. A partition with leaded windows is modern as is the fixed seating at the rear.
