Punch Hotel, Darwen

Mid 19th century red brick pub which remarkably still has a five small rooms and lobby bar layout but does have fittings from a refit of around 1960 with few changes since. The entrance lobby has a terrazzo floor and tiling on the walls painted over in cream. Through the inner door with leaded lights the lobby has a terrazzo floor with 'Punch Bowl' mosaic under the carpet. The Darts Room on the front left with the figure '6' on the door has a 1960s Formica bar front and top, old fixed seating but has lost its fireplace. Through another door to the lobby bar with a 1960s bar counter front and top, 1960s bar back fitting with some Formica shelves.

The front right larger room called 'Chapels Lounge' has a door, fixed seating all around the room, pool table but has lost its fireplace and has a hole cut in the wall to the lobby 'for supervision'. Next on the right is a room called the 'Dog House' with the figure '2' on the doorway and has a parquet floor, wood backed fixed seating all around the room apart from a small piece lost for a pool table, but has lost its fireplace. On the left past the servery is the Snug, a small room with two archways which has more old fixed seating, a 1960s small counter with a Formica front and top. A room at the rear has been brought into use from domestic and still has old wall cupboards and now has a small snooker table. The ladies has inter-war tiles to picture frame height. Outside gents now covered over has three big urinals and inter-war dado tiling.
