One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
The two small right-hand rooms are the main interest here, refitted in the 1930s, with their dado panelling, fixed seating and parquet floors. The counter is from the same era but the bar-back is recent and the fireplace is partly modern. In the rear room, the panelling above the (modern) fireplace seems of the 1930s and has three painted sections portraying kings and queens. The front and side rooms feature lots of good 1930s stained glass windows and dado panelling runs up a staircase leading to the now closed lounge bar. The left bar was extended in recent years to incorporate former living space but the front counter may be old and the fixed seating at the front certainly is.
Worth a visit to see the two small rooms on the right refitted in 1930s. They have good quality dado panelling, both rooms have fixed seating, parquet floors. It retains its 1930s bar counter front but a modern bar back and the fireplace has a 1930s wood surround but the tiled may be more modern. In the rear room the fireplace is modern but the panelling above looks 1930s and has three painted sections of kings and queens. Lots of good 1930s stained and leaded windows on the front and side. Dado panelling runs up an open staircase which did lead to a lounge bar, long since closed. The left bar was extended in recent years very incorporating private quarters on the rear left. There is a new counter and panelling on the walls in this area but the front counter may be old and the fixed seating in the front area is definitely old, as is the baffle. 'Figure '3' on the door to the right hand bar.
