Historic Interest
Local Camden listing:- Public House on corner of Haverstock Hill and Crogsland Road opposite the junction of Regents Park Road and Adelaide Road. Mid 19th century public house in a simple yet bold design with stock brick and stucco decoration to the architraves of the large emphasised windows at first and second floors. Connected to a short stretch of terraced housing on Crogsland Street which has suffered from loss of original joinery and shopfronts, but retains some historic detailing such as console brackets at shopfront fascia level and stucco quoins. These are significant in strengthening the setting of the public house. (The re-insertion of sympathetic shopfront treatment and timber sliding sash windows would improve the appearance of these buildings and the street).
