One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
Sadly this fine pub (and former hotel) next to the opulent Central was opened out internally in the 1970s but some fine work still survives. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the window glass which is both embossed and curved – an impressive feat of glass-making. Copper straps across the middle advertise Walker's ales of Warrington. The right-hand strap indicates the buffet for the hotel and this area has a good display of panelling and mirrorwork. This area was originally separated, of course, from the public bar (named as ‘vault’ in the door glass). There is some remarkable coloured glazing over two doorways and at the rear of the former buffet.
