Golden Key, Snape

Old village pub with a collection of settles. The main bar was originally two small rooms with a red and black quarry tiled floor laid diagonally. Recently a lovely old curved settle with a back of two slightly different heights that was situated in its original position to the left of the front door creating a draught screen has been moved to the right. Sadly, another settle with a window in the centre back of it has been removed from the pub. The bar counter looks like a 1950s one but has recently been painted a claret colour; and the bar back of 4 bays with ply panelling behind also looks 1950s. There are old brick fireplaces on the left and right. A doorway on the rear right leads to a snug with an uneven red tiled floor and L-shaped fixed benches around just one table, two stools and a shelf near the split door with a shelf to the servery. On the front right a room brought into use has a brick floor, another two good old settles and a small cast-iron fireplace. A doorway leads to a large room also brought into use, originally two small rooms, with low ceiling, two old brick fireplaces and another settle.
