Historic Interest
The Dog and Partridge is on the CAMRA Local Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
Although the interior of four rooms has been opened-out and modernised, the original layout is still visible; there is some inter-war tiling on the right-hand side of the corridor into the pub and one nearly intact room. The central snug has been spared from excessive change. Cosy and genuinely historic, this little room retains its old fireplace, original door and fixed seating, with a wide panel above still having bell pushes from the days of table service. The fireplace is also very old but has a modern hearth. Graffiti, of various ages, is carved into the woodwork.
1974 plans proposed that this snug become a male toilet and the servery re-configured. Luckily, these alterations did not materialise. Further alterations in 1989 saw the pub extend into a neighbouring shop, creating the snug to the left of the entrance.
The three-storey stone building also has good ‘DOG & PARTRIDGE GILMOURS WINDSOR ALES & STOUTS’ raised lettering on the fascia and an interesting sign above the entrance.
Three-storey pub of stone with good frontage of ‘Dog & Partridge’ and below it ‘Gilmours Windsor Ales & Stouts’ raised lettering, dating back to 1796. In June 2014, the badly damaged yellow
and brown tiles were painted over in red. The pub is now painted black. Although the interior of four rooms has been opened-out the layout is still visible, there is some inter-war tiling on the right hand side of the corridor into the pub and one nearly intact room.
A 1938 plan indicates that three rooms on the right side of the pub ('Dram Shop,' 'Service,' 'Smoke Room' and 'Kitchen') were opened out into a single 'Public Bar,' a larger 'Service Area' and an external off-sales into Bailey Street (Architect: Fenton & Robinson for Duncan Gilmour). 1974 plans proposed that the internal snug become a male toilet while the off-sales was to be removed and the servery re-configured (Architect: D.K.Davy for Joshua Tetley). It seems that these alterations did not materialise as 1977 plans indicate the sung in place and a further slight reconfiguration of the servery (Architect: Shepherd, Fowler & Robinson for Joshua Tetley). A year later, further alterations saw the servery move away from the outside wall to its current position. Further alterations in 1989 saw the pub extend into a neighbouring shop, creating the sung to the left of the entrance (Architects: L.B.Percival for Joshua Tetley).
Head for the snug at the rear left, which is very small and has its original door. Around the room the old fixed seating remains with a wide panel above still having the bell pushes from the days of table service. There is a hatch to the back of the servery which is a relatively modern addition and when cut out a small section of the fixed seating was removed and plain baffles added both sides. The fireplace is also very old but has a modern hearth and there are tiles that have been painted so are difficult to date.
The front left room has been opened-out to the corridor and has modern fixed seating and fireplace. Front right room has a blocked-up front door but no old fittings. The modern servery is centrally situated. The rear room has a wide doorway, fixed seating from the 60/70s, fireplace with tiled interior also looks modern, there is a (modern) small hatch / counter to the side of the servery and there is a good Gilmour’s mirror.
