Striking combination of old and new. Built in 1861 by Bayswater builder Edwin Curtis; not a listed building but it has remarkable interior tilework and "shabby-chic" decor.
Up to three cask ales in normal times.
Built 1861, it received a quality refurbishment in the 1890s and retains a completely tiled wall on the right hand side which would have originally been in a passage to the rear Smoke Room created by a partition wall, lost many years ago. The tiling features two large panels (not pictorial), three smaller ones and a narrow one at the left end. The bar counter looks old and has at least 4 markings showing where partitions creating separate small rooms were situated. The counter has possibly been shortened or slightly moved and the rear part is different in style to the straight middle section and curved front section. The fixed seating looks at least just post-war and the dado panelling has been painted gastro grey so difficult to date.
