Rebuilt in a pleasant, free Edwardian style in 1907, the green and yellow ceramic facing on the ground floor here is particularly attractive. Inside, the original three-bay bar-back and panelled counter remain, as do a pair of massive urinals in the outside gents'. There is also some original etched glass, e.g. two windows with etched wheat-sheaves on the side road frontage. Sadly, in 1985, new owners created a predictable single space by removing an inner porch to the side road entrance, corridors and a rear room (the presence of these spaces can be traced in the contours of the ceiling).
